Mosques and Travel to Luxor

We visited two historic mosques in Cairo today. One from the 14th century and one from the early 1900’s. We admired the architecture and learned a bit about Islam. Our tour guide asked the imam to do the call to prayer for us. It was an interesting experience.

Here are a few more photos of the mosques.

We have a one hour flight to Luxor. We are staying at the historic Winter Palace Hotel. This is the hotel that William Carter’s announced the discovery of King Tut’s tomb in 1922.

In the evening we had dinner with a local family in Luxor. They are vegetable farmers.
