Luxor temple and views



no  I can not get in the back of that taxi
oh to be a fly on the wall.
Woodlice in the genus Armadillidium can roll up into an almost perfect sphere as a defensive mechanism, hence some of the common names such as pill bug
Luxor temple  AND AL HAGAG MOSQUE,built from the temple stone and housed inside the 18th dynasty temple of Ramses111 and  Thutmosis
 I was informed that the Imam of the mosque is now charging the infidels 20 Euro, or 100 egp  for a guided tour of the inside. the rebuilding of this mosque was with infidel money I.e. us $ from aid fund.
view of the temple from the roof restaurant.

 Snack time much better fast food than macs and half the price.
the roof is on the top floor and has elevator access,   that's why its called the roof,
our meal today mixed grill.
one gets to see more than one wants from high places  like this horse being whipped for no apparent reason only it lost its nerve in the mass of stupid drivers sitting on the vehicles horn.
ALWAYS LOOK WELL DOES THIS PAIR


looking across the Nile to the Thebes mountain range home for the tombs of Queens and Kings of the Pharaohs.
lITTLE WHITE EGRET AND A PIED KINGFISHER DOING THE LAST MINUTE SHOPPING. I MEAN FISHING.
LOOK OUT HERE COME THE IBIS.   HOODED CROW
OVER 200 GLOSSY IBIS IN TODAY'S FLY BY
4 FOREIGNERS WHO ENJOYED THE FLY PAST AT SUNSET
