Our tour bus passed through numerous rugged mountain and hills for an hour.
There isn’t a single grass or tree on sandy rocky mountain ranges.
It was as if we were in a surface of the moon?
Another couple of hours of driving through desert and old country towns that reminds of somewhere Arizona or Wyoming.
Finally, we arrived in Luxor after three hour drive from Safaga where we docked this morning.
It was another big culture shock for me.
People still look like living in their own world with traditional costumes and unique cultures not affected by modern civilization.
I did, however, spot the mobile phones that many people using on the street.
Karnak temple was our first destination of historic Egypt.
Then, whoever has thought I would ever have lunch on the Nile River!
Town of Luxor where Karnak temple is on the east side of the river bank and the Valley of the Kings beyond lush palm trees on the other side of the river.
It was wonderful!
Ah! I must be dreaming!
