Dr. Hauken in Egypt - October 2010

This was the third photo expedition to Egypt, continuing where we left off last winter, mainly in Luxor, at the Sofitel. We came by train this time, leaving Cairo at 20.00 pm and arriving in Luxor at 07.00 next morning. The aim of this expedition was to complete and expand the work done earlier this year.


Luxor East and West was our daily work, with the occasional free day in a felucca. Everything worked out as well as we had wished for. . Much restoration work was going on here and there, and it would be necessary with another visit to see the results of this at Esna and Deir-el-Medina. Also at Karnak the temple of Khonsu was undergoing important renewals here and there, but the inner sanctuaries were, alas, closed to visitors.


We also visited the small monastery of St. Theodore not far from the Medinet Habu, as well as a small Ptolemaic temple near by (in a rather poor condition). Another expedition to Abydos was needed, as well as to El-Kab and Edfu. Madamoud and the temple of Toud were photographed in separate expeditions. At Dendera we had left much work undone - in the crypt - and we spent a day finishing our task there.


Back in Cairo, at the Windsor, we had time to see some of the pyramids again, and the monasteries in the Wadi Natrun (here it is important to come on a Sunday when they all are open and we can see them functioning with crowds of faithful). Back to Norway where an early winter had already taken us in its grip.
