Egypt, day 3: Light Show

After our tour and a nap at the hostel, we spent the evening at a light show back at the Temple of Karnak. It was extremely cheesy, as we had been warned, but it was a chance to see the temple illuminated at night, which was beautiful.


The first pylon gate at the main entrance




In the Hypostyle Hall


Illuminated hieroglyphs


Huge carved scarab beetle that we somehow missed during our daytime visit




Katie and I walking like the Egyptians


A festive mosque back in town. The spots you see in the air are dust and sand.


Nighttime in downtown Luxor
