Wonderful photos :) You have captured so much expression - historical and cultural - thanking for sharing :)
Hello everyone,
Thanks heaps for your nice comments, travelling to other countries and discovering the very diverse culture is what intrigues me.
Killearn Kitties you are right since Lake Nasser was formed the Nubian's territory is submerged, but it gave the Egyptian people the opportunity to have fresh water all year through plus free electricity (so the Egyptians are not effected with the continuosly rising prices of crude oil!!) and the land is more fertile.
Kuhio98 this whole adventure in Egypt was started from the desire to visit the beautiful red rose city.....Petra! Yes I did go and it stood up to the level of my expectations cos its simply amazing. I will post pictures in a new thread called Jordan soon. If you ever want to visit Petra its very easy to cross the border through the red sea from Sinai to Aqaba. If anyone would like any tips just send me an e-mail.
Killearn Kitties why don't you post your pictures too of Egypt to this thread? It would be very nice!
Maya & Inka's mommy where exactly where you? In Luxor?
I really enjoyed your photos. :) I would love to travel more and visit places like Egypt. Thanks for sharing the pics!
I am so sorry that I haven't done this yet. I fully intended to post a few pictures, but I got caught up in work and guests at home. Don't these people know I have important stuff to do??? :DQuote:

Hope you didn't think I was ignoring you. ;)
Those are amazing pictures. I've always wanted to go to Egypt. :)

I got the "tourista" , a wellknown and feared kind of heavy diarhea and cramps :(
So, while my hubby and kids were admiring this splendid temple, I was laying in my bed, feeling terrible... . Thanks for the beautiful pics you took of the Abu Simbel! Do you mind if I would copy them and add to our Egypt-picturealbum?
Neat pictures!!
Gorgeous photos! I love how you took pictures of the locals and children. Not many do that. I think I myself would be too embarressed to ask, but it gives such a personal touch to your photos. :)
