During our 4 day cruise up the Nile, we visited a number of archeological sites, ranging from 4,000 years of to 2,000 years old. The majesty and beauty of some of the old temples was something to see. These pillars used to hold up huge ceilings in the temple. They are still carved and the colour still shows in areas. The heiroglyphics are amazing. Our guide, Adel, was a professor at Cairo University and he had a passion for Egyptian history. He was an amazing guy and we learnt so much about the temples and ruins. He could read the heiroglyphs, and was able to tell us the stories as they were written.
