“A delightful whirlwind of sights, colour, dust, noise, flavours, and astounding ancient and monumental creativity amongst galloping donkey carts and very overworked and underfed horses.
The massive amount of buildings being erected makes me worry that there will be very little of the old city of Luxor left to see within several years which is so rich in amazing temples and museums
Watching the feluccas sailing gently along the Nile was a favourite view and escape.”
