Karnak

 

Our day started with a 3am wake-up alarm 

It looked a lot like around the Dead Sea 

The first part we drove in the dark

We picked up 3 other couples 

From Finland, Denmark and Italy 

Nobody in the vann had English as his/her first language 

You pay for using the facilities 

The Karnak temple 64 hectares so pretty big

These sphinxes are now only here

They used to be from here to the Nile 

About 2000 of them

Rameses the second had them made

Impressive pillars

120 of them 

 

There was also a mudbrick wall made with straw

Makes you think of the Exodus 

A look around

The resort looks nice

We have a bench outside 

Not impressed with the bed situation 

We asked for a room with a bed for 2 people 

they let us move next door today, much nicer
