Aswan, Dendera, Edfu, Esna, Kom Ombo, Abu Simbel | Asawn quarry, unfinished obelisk |
I have an acute inability to book a trip anywhere in the world without ending up in Egypt. I have just booked again for August this year, this will be 9 trips to Luxor in as many years. From the Sheraton to The Meridien, the Sonnesta, Old Winer Palace, Old Cataract, cruise boats and now (due to budget restrictions) the Mercure Inn. The hotel doesn't matter; it's the experience of Egypt that makes the trip! If you've only seen Luxor make the effort to get to Aswan, the Nile at the first cataract is breathtaking... and if you have the time Abu Simbel is awe-inspiring! Edfu is stunning and Kom Ombo amazing, at night it takes your breath away. Take the time to do a day cruise to Dendera, it's worth the time and the money. |
