              Sand covered streets made for a dusty shopping experience |  | Shopping in Luxor was quite an experience. 
            As you can see from the pictures left and below, many of the the streets 
            were dirt or, if paved, covered by a layer of sand, and the traffic 
            kicked up quite a dust storm at times. There was mixture of motorized 
            and non-motorized traffic. We figured the best way to enjoy our shopping 
            adventure was to hire a horse-drawn carriage. |
