Egypt - Luxor

There's a lot going on around Luxor. Not only do you have two major temples in the town itself, these is the whole Valley of the Kings / Queens / Nobles / etc. on the other side of the Nile.

Entrance to the main market. The whole centre of town seems to be taken up with this.
Didn't find it very easy to smoke - but you have to have a go.
Might have been xmas decorations.
Another on of those Edwardian grand hotels.
Another one of Mahmoud's suggestions. This is a top restaurant for local food. I had to type the pidgeon.
OK, you see a lot of these all over Egypt. When someone goes on the Haj, they paint the trip on their house. A sort of raspberry at all the poor people.
