    Luxor, end of the Nile Cruise

    February 25, 2022 in Egypt ⋅ ☀️ 21 °C

    Following the crowds for some days, and getting the full Tourist mode. Absolutely not for me. But the temples are truely impacting and sooooo full of history. Visited some very nice monuments such as Philae Temple, Kom Ombo, Edfu, Luxor Temple, Karnak Temple, King's Valley and Hatsetsup Temple. We're staying in Luxor for a bit longer in a "used to be fancy hotel". Already feeling aaaaaaabsolutely exhausted with the intensity and perseverance of the egyptians, and probably they are already sensing it as well... (ups)

    🔍 Some facts: Tutankhamon was actually not an important king. He ruled very young and for just a few years, because he died from malaria as a young adult. The reason he's so famous is because his tomb was the only one not looted, so it helped a lot to understand how they organised them.
    📍 Essentials: King's Valley
    💡Travelling tips: don't try to full yourself with all the temples, mostly on a short period, orelse you'll start seeing just rocks on top of rocks instead of all the historical beauty behind it.
