When you're travelling in Egypt, a nice way of enjoying the sun and views is to take a boat from Luxor to Assuan. The boat stops in a few places on the way, so you've got the chance to visit the small towns in between. The circus in one of the towns was a great experience!

The most amazing ruins one can imagine. Beware: after this other ruins are... well... mostly just a bunch of stones.

It was really amazing to get the chance to go into a tomb inside the mountain.. You could still see how the walls and ceiling were covered with paintings.
