Album of Egypt Trip
Yo! Greeting from Cairo, Egypt!
To continue with the story of my previous post… during my flight from Doha to Luxor, I left a little case on the plane… nothing much inside, JUST a spare battery for my digi camera, my ear piece and a SD card 🙁
Not to waste the money ( a 24hrs connection cost US$26 here… ), I shall start loading up the photos and give you guys some details of how my past few days had been…

00:30 hrs
带着稍微疲惫的身躯，我截了辆德士朝机场出发了。。。
抵达的时候，大多数的团友正围着领队，听着解说
01:50 hrs
步入离境室，开始走向坐落在长廊末端的47号登机室。
凌晨时分的机场原来是那么冷清
02:45 hrs
起飞
七小时四十五分钟的飞行时间里，我没离开过坐位，厉害吧？哈！
吃了一餐，玩了两次PSP, 小睡了两回。
其余的时间。。。努力的捱。。。
10:30 hrs Singapore Time
05:30 hrs Doha Time
抵达多哈国际机场。
有一种熟悉的感觉。
两年多前在飞往土耳其时，也曾在这里转机。
飞往Luxor的内陆航班是两个多小时后，于是，我找了个角落，打开电脑，准备上网！
。。。。。。
。。。。。。
是。。慢。。的。。咯。。。
。。。。。。
。。。。。。
更不幸的是。。。我忘了带衔接相机和电脑的cable….!!!
计划告吹。
08:20 hrs Doha Time
再次登机飞往Luxor.
三小时的飞行时间里，同样没离开过坐位。
在这一趟的行程，因为冒失，把一个我用来装耳机，相机的备用储存卡和电池的小盒子，留在机上。。。☹
11:20 hrs Doha Time
10:20 hrs Luxor Time
长途跋涉。
终于抵达目的地
Luxor, 埃及。
Frst stop, Karnak Temple.
The majestic avenue f ram-headed sphinxes which leads to the first pylon of the temple of Karnak. The ram headed sphinx is a symbol of the god Amon ( identified with the ram ) who protects the pharaoh, show between the beast’s front paws.
After that, we check in to the cruise which we gonna spend 4 nights…
Next, Luxor Temple.
Luxor, the great city of Thebes, for centuries capital of the empire, famous the world over and called by the Greeks “Thebe of the hundred gates”, began its decline in 672 B.C. when it was sacked by Ashurbanipal.In early centuries of the Christian era, Coptic churches sprang up admdst the ruins, followed by mosques, with the formation of new villages.
Dinner

25-11-2007
Breakfast
The Valley of the Kings
In times past this terrifying gorge stood as a place apart from life on earth, set in the midst of sun-burnt rocks. Yet the images man left in its depths are still there, testifying to a world where dignity ad respect reigned, and which gives us food for thought.
Lunch
The Temple of Hatshepsut
This marvelous complex can be seen easily thanks to the restoration works still in course. Created by the architect Senmut, a worthy heir to Imhotep who ad lived 1200 years earlier, it is of great importance in the story of human achievement.
Ice cream! Even when it cost S$6 a piece … And their very own diet coke, Coke Zero!
Colossi of Memnon
This is what the famous stautes of Amenophis III ( Amenhotep ) are called. They are the last remains of the immense mortuary temple bilt at the beginning of the 14th century B.C., a sort of outpost in fertile land of the necropolis which lay behind.
Dinner time…
Rest and Relax on board the cruise…
