Luxor / Karnak Temple
Today was our first excursion planed, boarding a bus for the near-by Temple of Karnak. Our guide, Mohammed, told us before and during the tour lots of information about the history of the largest temple in the world! And, believe me, it was huge!
There are no words to describe the awesomeness of the place! And, as soon as you see one section, you walk on and more sections open up. It was extremely fascinating. I won’t even attempt to describe it.
At first we were guided by Mohammed, then we had an hour of free time to walk around as we pleased. That gave me time to take lots of pictures!
After the tour there we returned to the ship for lunch. Then we had time to rest before the next excursion at 16:30. This was an extra tour, first with a drive through the city, then a visit to a farm, and back to Karnak.
