One of the great things about being here is all of the destinations that are so close. We were able to get over to Egypt for a weekend! We left after work on Thursday (our last day of the week) and then took the red-eye back on Sunday (our first day of the week). Luxor was a great city with so much history. Many sights didn't allow cameras so we included what we could. We are looking forward to a trip back to Egypt to see Alexandria and Cairo.
Luxor Temple is located on the East bank of the Nile River and was founded in 1400 B.C. Ramses II built the entrance pylon and the two obelisks, one of which was taken to France and is now at the center of the Place de la Concorde.
It had an incredible Avenue of the Sphinx.
