Today I took an early flight to Luxor, a small city at 500 Km south of Cairo, which is known as the biggest open air museum in the world. In the early morning, trying to run from the merciless sun, we went to the Valley of Kings, the cemetery with 63 royal tombs from different dynasties.
Their tombs were not pyramids, but were caves dug in the mountains, with walls beautifully painted with ancient live color cryptic passages. Although from the many tombs discovered, there are 9 open to the public, the 38° of this fresh winter let us visit only 3.
Then we headed for one of the most incredible temples in the country, the Temple Hatshepsut. Delightfully incrusted in the mountain, it shows the magnificence and power of the Egyptians and the relevance in praying for their souls.
After lunch, I went to sail de Nile in a felucca until sunset, one of the most incredible experiences, not only for the peace and serenity you feel, but by the magnificence of the Nile and its history in humanity.
