Another busy day in Luxor

View inside one of the temples. The paintings on the wall were quite detailed.

Checking out some Luxor temples! And, a balloon ride over some Luxor houses and temples. We also visited Valley of the Kings - where famous Kings of Egypt have tombs under the ground. The most famous that we know of - is King Tut - or as the Egyptians say - King Tut Akh Amon. His tomb was famous because it was found intact with all its treasures in it - for it had not been looted like all the other tombs. It is quite a small tomb (no bigger than a few house bedrooms) - as King Tut only reigned for 9 years (and died at the age of 18 - thought to have been poisoned by his wife!). But, many of the tombs treasures are housed in the Cairo Museum and are truly amazing.

Balloon rides, desert temples...it doesn't stop!
