We stopped at the village of Gebel Silsileh, home of the Temple of Horemheb and more sandstone quarries.

Horemheb was the last pharaoh of the 18th dynasty and was previously the commander in chief of king Tut’s army.

The previous evening we had a sunset walk in the desert. It’s interesting that the Aswan dam provided for 40% more arable land, but how quickly it turns into desert.
