Temples I – The Convoy

Monday, October 8th, 2007

We spent the last two days in Luxor on private tours of four temples upstream and downstream of Luxor. The Egyptian government started using police led convoys as a way to thwart terrorism starting about 17 years ago. Since that time there have been numerous attacks mainly in Sinai at hotels, but also the major attack at a temple in Luxor. I’m not sure why they reason that the convoy helps, but we were stuck taking a tour because all traffic carrying tourists must go by convoy. The first day was spent at Kom Ombo and Edfu temples located almost in Aswan south of Luxor. The second day was spent in the opposite direction at Dendera and Abydos temples.

Sweeney Todd – The Demon Barber of Luxor

Monday, October 8th, 2007

We had a down day just to relax after so many exciting days and because we have two more big days in Luxor before heading to Mt Sinai. We did some logistics stuff like by airline tickets and tours to temples to be seen outside of Luxor. We also visited the small mummification museum where we learned a bit about why the mummified humans and animals and how they did it. I can’t say it was the most exciting museum, but it was done very well and reaffirmed that Egypt can build a good museum. But what I really want to discuss about this day was the simple visit to a barber for a haircut that caused my opinion of Egyptians to totally bottom out. Note: You’re probably tired of me reporting about how bad these people are, but I feel that they taint the experience so much that you are better off knowing all I have encountered in case you ever brave coming here. In order to be able to survive, you have to understand just how low they will go.
