At 5:30pm, I went back to my hotel and was picked up in a van and taken to the Luxor bus station to wait for my bus to Hurghada. Got to watch the sun set over the fields in front of the Nile.
After wandering the streets for a while, I found a hotel that was able to hook me up with a bus that was leaving for Hurgada later that night. I had a couple more hours to kill before I had to leave, so I decided to check out the Luxor Ruins - that were built at the same time as some of temples of Karnac were. They were closed, so I was only able to admire them from the perimeter.
The sides of most of the streets are lined with trash and there are roaming packs of goats that EAT THE TRASH! It's equal parts adorable and terrible. Hahaha.
Check out what the rest of Luxor looks like! The "touristy" parts of town and the waterfront esplanade are all very modern. But the vast majority of the town looks like this! Dirt roads and chaos!
