I always tell people the thing that stood out the most for me in Luxor was the people’s reaction to the bombing. Every single person, upon hearing about the bombing, commented on how sad it is for the families of the soldiers since they didn’t choose to be a soldier, it was a requirement. I couldn’t help but compare it to the reaction we would get in America I feel like here we are more drawn to the drama of tragic events than how something like that effects a family. And then to see an entire community gather together to mourn a fallen soldier. So powerful.

Thanks for putting our whole trip down on paper, so to speak. :)

As you walk amongst thousands of years worth of history and landmarks you also get to experience Egyptian culture today Those living in such a historical place but experiencing modern life. You get stimulated in every way.

Of course, the tombs, temples and statues are beautiful to look at, explore and get lost in the history, but it was the present events that made the most lasting impact on me. Ruby’s (tour guide) stories of his family. The soldier killed in Sinai and the mourning we witnessed. The sugar cane on the side of the street. The bargaining. The endless thanks we received by the locals.

I felt like Luxor reminded me of Rome in the sense that I really enjoyed the ancient tourist attractions and learning how life was thousands of years ago, but what really made an impact was seeing the ways in which people live, interact and mingle right here and now.

Go to Egypt.
