Luxor is a tourist city. It’s clean and there are even traffic lights.
Jeremy is a crazy Ultramarathon runner. He Jan 55k and talks about running 80k in a desert 🏜️.
So naturally we walked a lot in the sun.
There are usually Nile tours but not in summer it’s too hot. The boats are maintained in that time.
Very touristic and clean city
River crossing is 50p per person
We’d walk into the valley of the kings. The walk was scorching 🥵.
Look at those colors
What stories are they telling?
Ancient ones.
On the other side
Heavy use of blue
God of the sun and moon Ra
Going down
Still down
Hidden trapdoor chamber
Big grave
Damn it’s hot
Tomb with no positioned guard
Water is running low
The majority of tombs are not accessable
Closed doors
Going back to the east bank we’d visit the Luxor temple.
Walking a ancient road for 2-3km and back
The road goes through the city. There is trash.
The road stops eventually.
Lit now.
Impressive structure
Some areas where not designed for tourists.
Symbols
Little colors
Human for scale
