We have made it a hop, skip, and a jump away from our last post and have landed in Luxor Egypt. Petra was amazing and our opinion of Jordan was that the people are very nice, Amman is a very up and coming city, and it is freaking hot.
We made the mistake last Wednesday of hiking Petra in the heat of the day. Our brains were fried but we did manage to see the tomb of Aaron, the brother of Moses (from afar), the absolutely beautiful Treasury, and the old city square. The next day we headed to the Royal Tombs and did some minor hiking. After two days in the heat, we were ready for a day off. Friday we hung out at the pool. Then some transportation days and here we are in Egypt. Jordan and Syria were as brown as land can be, so it was very striking flying from Cairo and seeing the green spread out from the Nile. Desert as far as the eye can see and then suddenly these lush fields. Thanks to mom and dad, we have a platinum suite at the Sheraton here in Luxor. It’s odd being waited on. I’m adjusting better than Nic though. No one moves here during the afternoon unless it’s from the bar to the pool, so we are waiting for the evening to break so we can see Luxor temple and the Luxor Museum. Hopefully, some shesha too!
Hope all is well!
