Karnak Temple entrance

From Edfu, I took a nice long bladder-empty ride to Luxor. The modern tourist city of Luxor is built around the ancient capital of Thebes from the Middle and New Kingdoms of Egypt. This was also the site of the 1997 massacre of 58 tourists at the temple of Hatshepsut.
For Luxor, we had an excellent tour guide, Gad, with Amigo Tours.
