Nile River Cruise, Day Two (continued)

Friday 23 December 2011


In the evening, a subset of the group (myself, the mom and her two children) set out for a lightshow at the Karnak Temple. Unlike the iconic Giza Pyramid Light Show in Cairo, the Karnak show is a walkabout, and it has a more modern feel to it, focusing less on the history and more on the emotion. At the end, we sat in an outdoor stone amphitheater, with the hills of the Valley of the Kings lit up and the distance, and even a shooting star zipping by at just the right moment. Yes, I did make a wish!
