Luxor Temple and Hard Rock Cafe

After visiting the Karnak Temple, we went down the street to the Luxor Temple – also another enormous place.











That night, instead of taking the train ride back, we all flew back to Cairo for a good night's rest.

Friday, September 28
Today began by visiting the Egyptian Museum. The whole 2nd floor has nothing but antiquities found in King Tut’s tomb!! I’m not much of a museum lover, but since we had a guide explaining what we were seeing, it was much more interesting.

Afterwards we ate lunch in the Hard Rock Café in Cairo – 1st time ever for Bob and me. We then were dropped off at the Khan al Khalili Bazaar for an hour of shopping. Actually it was not a fun shopping experience because it consisted of 2 long, main dirt streets jammed with small shops all along both sides and people pushing you to buy their wares – there’s no such thing as just “looking” – as soon as they see your interest in something, they are pushing you to buy! There was garbage everywhere along the dirt streets – you had to try hard to enjoy this shopping experience. Bob bought a typical Egyptian long shirt down to his ankles, I bought a magnet (all I could find worth spending money on).
