Al Uqsur, Nile Valley, Egypt

One of the best kept temples in all of a Egypt. Best kept secret too, there were less then a handful of other tourists there when we went because nobody knows about it. Maybe this isn't such a good idea?

Al Uqsur, Nile Valley, Egypt

You can walk easily from any hotel to Karnak so don't take a taxi. Don't pay the "guards" in the Karnak temple money for the privlage of having your picture taken in a "sacred" spot. You can do it without paying them. My wife and I paid $0.25 cents so we could rub the 'sacred cobra" and it was the highlight of opur trip. We asked each other for weeks after that " Hey you - you wanna rub my sacred cobra? Only $5.00 US!" LOL :)

Ask your driver to take you out here. There are some important early monuments and centographs related to the first king of Luxor. Use a convoy, though our "escort" held an AK-47 on his lap, which is probably a bit extreme. One hopes ...

don't make the confusion with CARNAC in France (brittanny) where you can see menhirs dolmen (prehistoric tombstones). In Karnak, Egypt, the temple is so great that you never forget it as well. See the columns room wit dozens of columns;;;;; awe impressive !!

9. Kelly's Tip on Al Uqsur

Al Uqsur, Nile Valley, Egypt

Luxor. Ga niet in de zomer. 45 graden is te veel van het goeie, je wil echt niet smelten. Voor de rest is Luxor prachtig. Een tochtje over de Nijl naar het bananeneiland is zeker de moeite. En de tempel van Hatsjepsoet moet je gezien hebben in je leven maar niet in de zomer.
