After our first night on the boat (which has not set sail yet) we woke up in the ancient city of Thebes, which is the present day city of Luxor. It is frequently referred to as the "world's greatest open air museum." Today we made visits the to the Karnak and Luxor temples as well as the Luxor museum. The photo below, courtesy of hightoursegypt.com shows the Luxor temple, built around 1400 BC by Amenhotep III.
