Publisher's Synopsis
When I booked this holiday to Luxor and the Valley of The Kings, Egypt was just another military dictatorship that welcomed tourists to enjoy the marvels that the country boasts. Two weeks prior to departure, there were armed soldiers on the streets, a revolution taking place and most sensible tourists were heading in the opposite direction. Not for me however. This is the story of a remarkable trip to a land, not only full of archaeological marvels, but at this remarkable moment in history, home to a people full of hope after their Arab Spring. This is a light hearted travelogue about a week surrounded by temples, tombs and tanks.
