Egypt continues

Here are a few more pictures from Upper Egypt in the south. This is where most of the major temples are. I've now made it to Dahab and planning to do some dives tommarrow. Than off to trek in the desert for 2 days...I think this might be crazy considering it is between 40 and 50 degree's...I may not make it out alive...:)




The Tombs of Nobles in Aswan...We walked through 3 tombs that were all well preserved with carvings and painting all over the walls...really cool!




Abu Simbel just south of Aswan. This is a very famous Temple built for Ramses II. It was also moved when the Aswan dam was built becuse it was going to be underwater. This temple is massive..they moved the whole thing peice by peice and re-assembled the whole thing. It was quite impressive to look at because it is so big and well preserved.




Mummies in the Aswan Nubian Museum. They are somewhere between 2000 and 4000 years old.



Spent 2 days on the felucca cruising down the nile...well not so much cruising as floating and sailing if there was enough wind. It was brilliant actually...the funnest part of the trip so far. We had a great crew and did a lot of relaxing and swimming in the Nile!




Temple in Kom Ombo




One of the many Egyptian men that follow you around. He posed in my picture thn asked me for money...what else...everyone wants your money!


A donkey cart loaded with sugar cane..seen very frequently around Edfu.

Me riding a donkey to the Valley of the Kings. Actually this was really fun!
