Luxor Day 3 (9/27)
Hi everybody! This is Peder, writing for our third day in Luxor (9/27).
On this day, we woke up early, had omelettes at the continental breakfast, and got ready for a day of touring at the Valley of Nobles, the Valley of Workers, and the Habu Temple. At both the Valley of Nobles and the Valley of Workers, we descended into small, steep tombs that were beautifully painted, and incredible to see. We went on to the Habu Temple where our tour guide, Mohammed, told us the history of the artwork and the stories of the hieroglyphs. It was another beautiful, historic space that we felt so lucky to enter.
After these tours, we made it back to hotel for lunch and a relaxing, free rest of our day. We spent this free afternoon eating ice cream at the hotel and making use of the pool in the hot weather. While at the hotel, we met a group of college students our age staying at the hotel for an Egyptian environmental development conference. We made some new friends and played a huge game of water polo across the pool.
This day was a great combination of learning, sight-seeing, and relaxing to end our last full day in Luxor. This has been a great city to stay in and we continue to have an amazing month in Egypt.
