After an hour or so in the Mummification Museum, I exited back onto the esplanade. I walked around and enjoyed the view (if you look across the Nile, you can see the mountains that make up one side of The Valley of Kings in the distance!) and decided that I had seen most of what I wanted to see in Luxor and that it was time to move on.
I sat down and decided that I was going to travel to Dahab to do some scuba diving next! Dahab is a small town on the east coast of the Sinai Peninsula. In order to get to Dahab, I had to go to a town called Hurghada, take the ferry from Hurghada to a town called Sharm el-Sheikh, and then from there, hire a car to Dahab. Got all that? So I set out to hit the town and try to figure out how to get to Hurghada!
After my previous day's adventure where I spent all day out in the sun exploring the Valley of the Kings (and contracting sunstroke in the process), on Thursday morning I decided to get up extra early and try to get most of my sightseeing done before the Egyptian sun got too high in the sky!
Here's the rad view of the Nile River in the morning from my balcony.
