Eqypt-Luxor






Our next stop is Luxor, there are so many great sites to visit at Luxor. The West bank consist of the Valley of the Kings/Queens. We ended up in Happy Hostel, highly rated by Lonely Planet and hostelworld.  The owner was really friendly initially, but after we told him that we are checking out 1 day earlier, his attitude changed!  At the hostel we sign up for a tour to the valley of the King.  You pay lesser for the tour if there are more people going. We manage to rope in a French couples to join us......who soon became our travelling companion for the rest of our trip in Egypt.


Together with Gayle and Vincent we visited The Temple Karnak, Deiral-Bahri (Hatshepsut) and Medinat Habu (Ramses III). we got along fine and decide that we should also travel together to Hurgarda too.
