Max had to have another photo at the temple because he saw an interesting statue. He is such a camera ‘hog’!
Max went back to his ship the MS Stephanie and had a rest as he was cruising down the Nile. It had been a busy day!
Max loved looking at the banks of the Nile to see how fertile it was.
Max saw a boat on the Nile and was told it was called a felucca. He was going to go on one tomorrow and sail around an island called Elephantine Island. He was very excited but had to wait.
When on the boat the person who looked after his room used towels to make things. He made Max a monkey.
Max like the monkey so much that he had to have a photo with him. Max gave his friend a name – can you guess what the name was?
The next night there was a ‘Mummy’ in the room. It scared Max and Jenny when they went into their room. Jenny had a photo taken even though she was a bit scared. Max did not have his photo taken, he doesn’t like mummies. The ones he saw at the Egyptian Museum in Cairo were a bit scary to look at.
The next day was a big day, Max was going to see the Temple of Abu Simbel and had to catch an aeroplane at 4:30 am. It was very cold there and was 2 degrees Celsius.
The temple was carved out of the mountain for the Pharaoh Ramses II. It was dedicated to three Gods: Ra- Horakhty, Amun and Ptah.
