I guess this would be "sail-through" shopping, the ever present "entrepreneurs" were selling stuff to the tourists passing though the old Nile locks. They would throw their stuff on top of the sun deck where we were.

Sailing through the new functional locks, we dropped about 7 meters

Again the temple of Luxor, the twin of the Obelisk you see its in Paris in the Place de la Concorde, the french traded a broken clock for it you can still find in the Alabaster Mosque :wink: (who said the french cannot do business)

Really, the only word (and I'm sure you'll see this a lot throughout this thread) that would describe what you've shown us is: Awesome. Simply awesome. I have a feeling this is what George Campbell would have us consider when encouraging us to understand the human imagination.

awesome travelogue! :) i really want to go to egypt now. loved the night shots.

they look cool..

Great pics. I have always wanted to see the great pyramids and climb to the top cuz thats how I roll.

Those were incredible! Gives me a new appreciation for those who built them! Even today I think they are modern marvels!!! The pictures are so clear too! Great Job!
