I left from Cairo for this trip, contradictory city .... think that was created to accommodate a population of 4,000,000 and is reflected today with 20,000,000 inhabitants, crazy! However, strange place here because the Middle Eastern Muslim culture merges with the west.
So ... after the capital, heavy, noisy and gloomy enough, I went to Abu Simbel with the interior of Egyptair flight to enjoy a great temple on the banks of Lake Nasser.
From here on the island at Aswan elephant, one of the many cataracts of the area and could miss a visit to the botanical garden? The evening then must turn to a beautiful picturesque area of the market with its myriad of colors where I could not resist and I bought (after the Treaty for half an hour) a Narghile there ... all the smoke.
The next day I went to Komombo, starting with the old boat on the Nile large producer of silt, here I have seen the temple dedicated to two gods Sobek the crocodile god and Haroreris, the god here I falco.Da continued navigating to Edfu . Just got to miss a visit to the temple of the falcon god Horus one of the best preserved temples in Egypt. From here we continue towards Esna where he awaits his turn to overtake the lock.
From here onwards to Luxor, where I spent (unfortunately) the last few days visiting the necropolis of Thebes, Valley of the giant kings and queens (playing), the Temple of Medinet Habu and the colossi of Memnon and the Temple of Queen of Hatchepsut, the temples of Karnak and Luxor itself.
Unfortunately have already returned .... October but is soon to arrive and return to the old love ... my south america
