Thank you again for your wonderful report, progol. I enjoyed reliving my Egypt trip through you. You’ve also reminded me that it’s been too long since I was in Petra and a return is in order.

I like the black and white. Perhaps it’s way we enjoyed visiting Philae at night while the night visits to the other temples did not speak to us as much.

Count me in on the Narmer Palette. I didn’t realize that there is an Egyptian obelisk in Central Park and I lived in NYC for a couple of decades. Have seen the one in Paris though.

Gebel El Silsila was definitely a gem that we would not have seen if we had not travelled via dahabiya.

Wow. Looks like there is more color on the temple at Esna when you visited compared to when we were there in 2020.

Floating down the Nile is magical, isn't it? And it sounds like the company was...

I’ve thought of returning when the Grand Egyptian Museum opens. Could combine a visit to the museum with Saqqara.

The Tomb of Ramose must be unique to have the columns inside a tomb. I haven’t seen or heard of it when I was in Egypt.

What is also fascinating is all the new finds that keep on springing up,...

Awesome photos. I loved my time at Karnak; my favorite was the Hypostyle Hall. Out of curiosity, was the Avenue of the Sphinxes between Karnak and Luxor Temples open when you were there?

Still enjoy following along, progol. Seems like you had a much better experience at Wadi Rum than we did. We too enjoyed our time at the Movenpick Dead Sea. Glad you enjoyed Egypt as much as we did,...

Seems like Petra has exploded in popularity. Hotels were widely available and cheap when we visited in 2008. We saw perhaps a few dozen people at the site. Would love to go back to Petra and also get...

Ahlan wa sahlan, progol. I just caught up with your report; thank you for sharing. I'm with you on Jerash; it's my favorite Roman site outside of Rome itself. Cannot wait to read more about your time...
