Blog 4 – Luxor to Aswan

On the 24th of November, we were off again, driving from Luxor to Aswan and for the first time not in a convoy. So for those that wanted to, it was the opportunity to make your own way to Aswan. So four cars decided to take the route that would take us from Luxor along the Nile, past Esna, stopping off at the Temple of Edfu.

We did get lost in Esna but managed to find a lovely but very rough back road that got us on the right track again. It was great to drive this back road, to see the locals going about their business, just to see and experience the "non-touristy" Egypt.

But the place which you have selected for your camp, though never so rough and grim, begins at once to have its attractions, and becomes a very centre of civilization to you: "Home is home, be it never so homely."

Henry David Thoreau
