Memory Lane

In Luxor, as part of the City’s ongoing development plan, the last wall along the ancient road linking Luxor and Karnak temples has been removed revealing a clear line-of-sight between these two famous locations. Soon this messy row of bricks and excavations will be restored to its former glory and tourists will be able to recreate the ancient festival parades along its length.



When one tears away at the old heart of Luxor’s town, one never knows what is to be found. Right beside the old apartment building featured in an earlier blog I discovered a dairy farm with ten water buffalo quietly munching away at old sunken feed troughs dating to at least 30 years ago when the area was still pasture.
