Bye bye Luxor, Hello Aswan

The next day, we flew to Aswan which is even further south of Cairo than Luxor. When we reached Aswan, Irene felt sick and faint so we slept for a few hous at Killany Hotel. For dinner, we had Kushari again. This is a supprisingly good Egyptian dish which consists of rice, macaroni noodles, fried onion. lentils and tomato paste. It is an unusual combination that works well.

Aswan is a pretty small town and there weren't a lot of tourists here which suited us just fine. Here, we met a really cool cab driver named Mohammed who became our personal cab driver whom we called whenever we needed a ride.

At night, we went to the sound and light show at Phili Temple. We took a boat across to the temple which we shared with an Australian and a British guy who was orginally from Malaysia!
Phili Temple's sound and light show was a bit corney but the lights were fantastic!
