10 November 2024

This was, essentially, a lost day. We had planned to fly from Cairo to Luxor, explore the Karnak temple, check into our hotel, and split up into two groups for dinner at the homes of two local families. As it turned out, we did none of these things, because our flight was delayed for 7.5 hours. We didn't arrive in Luxor until about 8:30 pm, having missed all the planned activities. Hend arranged for us to have a room-service dinner, after which, exhausted, we all retired for the night.

At Heathrow, we endured another two securithy gauntlets before scattering to find the...

It is Saturday, so the whole area was flooded with buses and cars carrying tourists and school groups. All around the biggest pyramid were hoards of people, some of them drumming us for money--for example, wanting to hand us a "gift" (perhaps a Chinese-made trinket or a photo) and then expecting from us a "gift" (i.e., money) in return. Our guide, Hend, had prepared us well for such approaches, so we weren't much bothered by them.  Although I had seen many pictures of the Pyramids, getting the three-dimensional view up close was very special. And the same goes for the Sphinx. I climbed up a few courses of the huge limestone blocks used the build the Great Pyramid, peaked into the entry door, and climbed back down. I didn't go in, because Hend had said that I would have to do ...
