EGYPT

We made two stops in Egypt. The first one was Safaga which is the gateway into Luxor. Tours travel by a bus caravan, escorted by security forces, to cross the desert as Luxor is 137 miles inland from the port. Once there, there are many ancient sites to visit including King Tut’s Tomb and Karnak’s Temple – some of you may remember the Johnny Carson show where he would give an answer and place a card on his forehead and say “Karnak says….” then he would tell the question.

On another theme night on the ship, we were Egyptians with 1001 Arabian Nights as the theme. My friend, Tom, who is a group leader for a large travel agency and is on board every year with me, went on a magic carpet ride!
