Temples look magnificent even without colors. Imagine how they looked like with all colors still there. These pictures are from the temple of Medinet Habu.

30th of April

Oops, who put the door there?

This is Abu El-Haggag mosque in Luxor. It was built on top of Luxor temple when the temple was still half buried in the sand hence the door is so up. The mosque is said to be built in 13th century but perhaps the minaret is even older. The mosque has been through many renovations, also at the moment as you can see. The picture of the door is taken in 2005.

Burning, burning. The air has been smoky for many days. I've no idea what's burning here on the west bank on 21st of April. Flames seem to be huge. Sugarcane fields???

22nd of April

There was a big fire near this church on 18th of April. Saw only one fire truck going there. The fire lasted a good while and smoke spread over the city and even Luxor temple.

(There are pictures missing between 15th and 21st but it's so busy here in Luxor I've had no time to look for pics or edit them.)

Sunset Nile view and a local ferry going over the river.
