Hot Air Balloon over the Nile

egypt 028

At the start and the end of the day you can take a balloon flight from Luxor's West Bank and float over the town, over the villages as far as The Valley of the Kings. As many of the homes have no roofs, you can see into the houses in some places.
The contrast along the Nile is always amazing; within the irrigated area all is lush and green, until the desert suddenly dominates, its dry sand abruptly putting an end to all traces of growth.
