On A Felucca Waiting to Sail

I am waiting in a small sailboat known as a felucca locally, waiting to sail down the Nile. We have been in Aswan for three days. We went to Abu Simbel which is right at the border of Egypt and Sudan. That was a long morning drive. From there we came back tired and decided to relax so we went to the Shisha bar and had tea and shisha. Today, we went to Phillae, which is the temple of Isis. I have plenty of photos from this trip, that I will share. I will also update more information on the trip when I have more time at home.

We are sailing the night on the felucca, and in the morning we are supposed to stop at the temple of Kom ombo, and then on to the temple of Edfu which is dedicated to the god Horus, actually both temples are. From Edfu we are headed back to Luxor. We have seen some of the best temples in the last few days. Abu Simbel is astounding. So was Phillae. I think these temples should be top priorities to anyone trying to visit Egypt. Be warned of the heat though and try to arrange a trip in the winter and even then visit early morning. I will detail more of each trip in a seperate entry with photos as time permits.
