A panoramic framing of hot air ballooning before sunrise, the most magical time of day for passionate photographers. Shot from Luxor west bank, one of the world's largest open-air museums. On the left side, two massive statues 'the colossi of Memnon' give us some scale to the picture.

Eventjes aan huis gekluisterd. Dus dan maar in mijn gedigitaliseerde dia's gedoken. De kwaliteit van de scans zijn niet zo goed, het gaat om de sfeer.
Dit is in een dorpje in de buurt van Luxor. Ik was hier in de winter van 2000/2001

2013 nobody was visiting at this time. People were struggling with the loss of livelihoods following the collapse of the tourist industry.
A wonderful site to visit. Quite small and leads to the vast karnak site along the Sphinx Avenue.
Ancient Egypt.
The Luxor Temple is a large Ancient Egyptian temple complex located on the east bank of the Nile River in the city today known as Luxor (ancient Thebes) and was constructed approximately 1400 BCE. In the Egyptian language it was known as ipet resyt, "the southern sanctuary". It was one of the two primary temples on the east bank, the other being Karnak. Unlike the other temples in Thebes, Luxor temple is not dedicated to a cult god or a deified version of the pharaoh in death. Instead, Luxor temple is dedicated to the rejuvenation of kingship; it may have been where many of the pharaohs of Egypt were crowned.
To the rear of the temple are chapels built by Amenhotep III of the 18th Dynasty, and Alexander. Other parts of the temple were built by Tutankhamun and Ramesses II. During the Roman era, the temple and its surroundings were a legionary fortress and the home of the Roman government in the area. During the Roman period a chapel inside the Luxor Temple originally dedicated to the goddess Mut was transformed into a Tetrarchy cult chapel and later into a church.
Along with the other archeological sites in Thebes, the Luxor Temple was inscribed on the UNESCO World Heritage List in 1979.
