Beautiful! Did you get a chance to go to Petra while you were in Jordan? I've always wanted to go.

Great photos, thanks. I've only ever read about it and seen pictures; I would also love to visit some day. I was a docent when the King Tut exhibit came to Boston, years ago, and since then I have read quite a bit about the area. Isn't Abu Simbel the one which is threatened by the rising Nile? Can't remember for certain.

I was in Egypt 3 years ago! We didn't see the piramids, because they are to far north; Your pics are fantastic!!!

Freedom, Abu Simbel was one of the many monuments moved in the 50's when the waters started to rise after the building of the new dam at Aswan. Basically the water in Lake Nasser now covers the virtually the whole of what was Nubia, from Aswan down to the border with Sudan. The United Nations stepped in to co-ordinate a rescue operation for many temples which were threatened. Is that what you are thinking of? I certainly haven't heard that anything is currently under threat from rising water.
