Since we didn't go to Cairo and the pyramids, we instead decided to go to Luxor for a whole day. We both felt that we didn't want to just be at the hotel for a week without experiencing some of the country. We were guided throughout the day and heard a lot of interesting facts about Egypt and Egyptian history, the pharaohs and their crazyness. Really interesting! It is hardly possible to imagine how old everything is and how they managed to build it at the time.
After seeing the Karnak temple we went on a boat trip across the Nile to the Valley of the Kings and the Pharaohs tombs (which we unfortunately weren't allowed to photograph) and saw some other sights nearby. In addition to the sights we experienced some of Egypt outside Makadi Bay and the "tourist-Egypt," which made ​​the day even more interesting.
