The temples and tombs continue to amaze and baffle. But it's not just the size or scale of the works, it's the sheer volume produced. Much of it, seemingly, not just to make for those in the upper eschelons, but a work created out of love for beautiful objects. Talk about making to last - some are over 3000 years old. There is just not enough time to see and contemplate all this beauty!
Here's what we ooh-ed and aah-ed about between Aswan and Luxor:
Tombs of the Nobles at Aswan
Abu Simbel Temple
Kom Ombo
Edfu
Temple of Hatshepsut

Valley of the Nobles
