Selepas itu, kami pergi melawat Empangan Tinggi (High Dam). Empangan ini merupakan nadi kepada janakuasa eletrik Mesir. Dikatakan bahawa jika empangan ini pecah, nescaya akan tenggelamlah bandar Kaherah yang berhampiran Lembah Nil. Ia memisahkan Tasik Nasser dengan Sungai Nil. Projek pembinaan empangan tersebut adalah antara kerjasama Mesir dengan kerajaan Soviet Union ketika itu, tahun 1960 mula pembinaan, siap pada tahun 1971. Dianggarkan seramai 20,000 orang telah mati dalam pembinaan empangan ini.
Mesir ni kaye sebnrnya, slps perjanjian untuk nationalization of Suez Canal, oleh presiden Gamal Nasser ketika itu. Tp, kesian rakyat diorang x terbela.....
And then, kami bertolak ke Luxor yang jauhnya 3 jam perjalanan dengan bas dari Aswan.
Tiba di hotel New Pola yang lawa skit dari Paradise Hotel di Aswan.
The next day, we went to the Valley of The Kings.
Necropolis. A graveyard for the royal family. Just got a snap of this model of all the tomb present inside this mountain. Why this necropolis situated far away from the city? Because to hide all the treasures from the tomb raider of course. Also, the hot weather helps in preserving the mummies of the kings. There are many tombs here. But the best condition of tomb belongs to King Tut Ankh Amun. Sadly, have to pay another 100LE to get inside it, and see the tomb. What a rip-off!
Well, they got their reasons. For me, it's not worth it, because you cannot take pictures inside the tomb and it is just an empty space with a sarcophagus(rock covering of the coffin).
Then, we went to "hot chicken soup temple" a.k.a Hatshepsut Temple. Nothing special here because of restoration which takes ages to be completed. But, interestingly this temple was built by 'King' Hatshepsut who was a woman! The statue itself revealed that it bore appearances of a woman. People can be easily deceived... if we do not use our brain. So, step up my friend.
