This is called 'Flyers Rock'. On the right you can
see a German WWII cross and on the left some kind of German Army identity
number. A Luftwaffe bomber was shot down near here in 1942. The three
surviving crew members made it to this rock before dying. They buried
the first to die in the sand at the bottom of this rock. |
We drove in Brent and Debbie's car.
Mike and Maryann from Cote d' Ivoire (also teaching in Cairo now)
also came! |

40 million year old whale bones lie around the valley
in many places. Smaller fossils are so numerous in some places that
you can't walk without stepping on them. (Mostly clams, shells and
sharks teeth.) |

to Luxor.

The

a 1997 terrorist attack on tourists.
