Our Day in Luxor
The main historical sightseeing area is close to Luxor but a 45 minute drive from airport since bridges across the Nile here are few and far between.
Our first stop is the Valley of the Kings, a series of tombs for ancient Egyptian pharaohs from some 5,000 years ago.
Cairo and the Pyramids
Our driver Assem and our guide arrived a little after 9am and we started our tour at the nearby Egyptian Museum aka The Museum of Egyptian Antiquities.
