Egypt, Day 6: Luxor

Another haphazard convoy ride from where the felucca let us off to Luxor. Stopped at Kom Ombo and Edfu temples along the way. In the first town we visited, the police were dragging hasslers away by the scruff of the neck. That was nice, I liked that town. Once in Luxor, we went to see Karnak temple, which is absolutely huge. It was heavily under reconstruction, but full of columns and statues.

As always happens, a local tried to point out something obvious to us so he could ask for a tip. This time, he led us into an off limits area. As we're standing there, I spotted the police coming towards us. Suddenly, the guy wanted to go. I moved slowly, stayed in plain sight and handed him a tip. The cop arrived just as I walked away and started yelling at the guy. 1EGP well spent; score one for the good guys.
