Luxor Egypt

I have had the best time in Luxor! There are a lot of temples and tombs around Luxor.

We went on a hot air balloon over the Nile and saw all of Luxor. We went to the Temple of Karnak and saw the sound and light show. It showed what happened and who did what. Karknak temple is dedicated to the god Ra. It is one of the biggest temples in Egypt and has giant pillars everywhere.

We also went to the temple of Hatshepsut. We call her hot chicken soup. She was the only female Pharoah and she even wore a false beard. Her temple looks huge because of how it is built, but looks pretty small up close.

We also went to the valley of the kings and saw King Tut's tomb. All of the tombs were built in the new kingdom (about 1500 BC) and hidden in a valley. Some of them are huge. We don't really have good pictures of the valley of the Kings because they don't let you take pictures in the tombs. I also had a chance to ride a donkey. On the other side of the mountain, there was a village of the people who worked on the other tombs. We visited there ancient village and tombs.

We are now heading off to Hurghada to go swimming. It is an Egyptian beach town on the Red Sea.
