Egypt - Day 4 part 2: Luxor at Night

We were way too tired and it was way too hot outside to tour Luxor in the afternoon. We washed up and took a nap. Found a place to have dinner - Amoun. The taxi took us to the building, we asked a government official looking guy in front of a court where it was. He took us to El Hussein instead. The place was empty and food sucked. We later found Amoun, it was on the other side of the building - packed with happy people eating.
After dinner, we decided to walk back to the hotel and catch Luxor temple on the way.


It's a giant temple that the ruling people keep building on top of. There are different layers of different architectural design - Egyptians, Romans, even a mosque built by the ruling Muslims.


Obelisk - similar to the one in front of Central Park (NY) - amazing how the engraving is still so deep and visible.


Massive Columns - the "guardian" shook us down for "bakeesh" for posing shortly after this picture
