Egypt 2012 Day 7

 We have witnessed big changes in the corniche, as you can see from these photos.

How to spend a day in Luxor...we did it like this; shared a common taxi, going around Gurna...took the ferry to cross the river; we walked around the work in progress...and went to Karnak temple.











At Karnak we visited everything available, and, as we already have been there before, we took more pictures and looked for some details concerning our particular research projects.

 The Nilometer

 Going round and round...

 The missing Sekhmet...

Carob. Not part of my plant list for the PhD, but still interesting...
After Karnak we were very tired and hungry and we went to my favourite restaurant in Luxor: Maxime.

Had a great lunch...and then off to buying souvenirs and bargaining...

We suceeded to have better prices and moved on the the bookshops which are dangerous ground for people like me, i always find something i want for some time, on sale, on promotion, discounted...and come back with a heavy bag...

Then off to the ferry again, taxi home and some 30 min rest before dinner...exhausting but productive and total fun!

 The Souk

 Lots of nice things to choose from...
