This is the last day of our tours, we have a very busy day; Valley of the Kings and Karnak. Each area is on different sides of the Nile in Luxor. We will first visit the Deir el-Bahri Mortuary. This temple was one of the first to be ruled by a female and she had to prove her importance, so on the walls of the temple, she shows the conception of he birth with the Gods. Next was the Valley of the Kings and we went to two different temples. Unfortunately we were not able to have the camera's inside the tombs. They were wonderful the way all the color of the paintings are still on the walls. Our last stop was Karnak in downtown Luxor. This is the home of the Obolisck, which was shown in the quarry at the beginning of our cruise. All I can say is everything here is big, very big. Kevin was in love with all the columns (again) and the god of fertility.
