On my fantastic seventeen days in Egypt, I got to see so many tombs, temples, and monuments. Here are two more, Kom Ombo and Edfu built during the Greek and Roman occupation. The former is dedicated to the crocodile god Sobek as well as Horus the falcon god. The museum had croc mummies! The later is dedicated to Horus and is the most complete temple in Egypt. Thanks for sharing my journey with me through these photos and I hope these encourage you to go and travel!

Exploring the National Museum here in Bahrain...really informative about the island's importance in trade and pearling. Only drawbacks are the creepy people in the displays and their over-reliance on Celine Dion songs in the museum cafe...

Back in the UAE and I have mobile service again! Headed to Dubai's neighbor Sharjah which has maintained its Bedouin culture more overtly than her sisters Abu Dhabi and Dubai. Cool pics to follow but here is my date milkshake I had in Oman...yum!
