Abu Simbel - cut into the rock - absolutely breathtaking. We had to drive over three and a half hours into the Sahara desert to visit this - well worth the drive and the heat. It was moved several years ago (the move took years to complete) and re-built in a higher spot to prevent it being covered by water when they created the Aswan High Dam.
Franco and me outside the temple at Edfu.
A Sphinx in Memphis.
Karnak Temple in Luxor
The Step Pyramids in Memphis - older even than the Great Pyramids.
The Aswan High Dam - taken from above.
Salahadin's Citadel outside Cairo
We weren't able to photograph in the Valley of the Kings or the Valley of the Queens which was very sad but we have lots of postcards to remind us of what we saw there.
Hope you like this small selection.

Fabulous pics Yvonne. Love the one with you and Franco together. What a shame you couldn't take your own pics, and had to buy postcards, I don't know about you, but I never feel it's the same.
