In 08, for my birthday, my wife and I were presented with a ticket to Egypt in Hurghada. A small group of Cossacks gathered at the King Tut Hotel, we decided that we would not take any of the excursions from the hotel guides (expensive), but we would hit the road to the new Hurghada, where we would buy excursions in one of the local travel agencies. It will be cheaper, and we will see the quality in the office of the company. And so it happened. On Sheraton Street, we looked through several travel agencies and decided to stop at one of them. We took several excursions (Luxor, a trip to El Gouna, the Sharm el Naga coral reserve and a few more) In addition to being cheaper, we also bargained for discounts for having several excursions and being a group. This is the first tip - bargain not only in stores. As a result, one tour was free.
On the day of the trip, a comfortable bus arrived early, we got into it, on the way we stopped at a couple more hotels, then at the collection point, where buses were already standing and still driving up. I did not count all of them, but there were at least 150 of them. The policemen accompanying us in light armored cars drove up and this caravan set off. Very lucky with the guide. A Russian woman with encyclopedic knowledge of Ancient Egypt bombarded us all the way with information about the life of the Egyptians and about everything that we will see in Luxor. If it were, then we didn’t really learn anything from the Egyptian guide assigned to us in the Karnak temple. A few words, after which we were free and examined everything ourselves, and he sipped tea in the tea room and waited for the end of the tour. But these are the rules, the need to provide work to the locals. Only magnificent impressions remained from the Karnak temple. Mighty columns, obelisks, majestic sculptures. This is a must see!
Thousands of years ago and such a power of the human mind and labor. Especially when you imagine that ceilings should lie on these columns and imagine the size of this temple. Therefore, further photo
