Egypt Pt 3


Last of the Egypt pics ....... with so many to go through I could have uploaded them for days but you have to draw the line somewhere :-)

Cairo Citadel

View over Cairo from the Citadel

Temple of Karnak


Temple of Hatshepsut - Valley of the Queens
Temple of Horus

Temple of Isis



Colossi of Memnon

Tut's Tomb - Valley of the Kings

Day break over the Valley of the Kings
Public loo in Valley of the Kings - Be afraid ... VERY AFRAID ! Abu Simbel - one of the most amazing parts of the whole trip


Air Cairo ! The little man in the safety video looked remarkable like Saddam !
And the flight attendant looked like 'Joan Ferguson'
Something crashed into our cruise boat while we were at Valley of the Kings .... unfortunately it crashed into the part of the boat that housed our room !

Work men trying to fix our room in Edfu
Cruise ship lounge
Cairo suburbs from the air

Russian monument in at the Aswan Dam - this was given by the Russians in honour of the Russian workers who helped build the dam ....... or as our cruise guide phrased it ' during the Russian occupation' - our guide was a little bit twitter and bisted !

So, that's going to be it for Egypt.
We were lucky enough to see some of the most incredible sights in the world - and experience a culture that is so vastly different from our own and also made us appreciate the life we have here in Oz.
