EGYPT MOVING FORWARD
Oh! What a lovely time I had. What a Party! It started as 3-pm and was in front of the Luxor Temple at Hagag Square.
This was one well-organised party; it was wonderful, spectacular and colourful. So many people there all are having a great time. It is so good at this low time, to see people enjoying themselves. There were TV stations interviewing people. Of course, this is aimed at boosting tourism here and getting the word out “Come to Luxor” It was sponsored by many local businesses, which just want to put a smile back on the faces of the local people and to say “We are open for Tourists”
There was an Army presents in case of any disturbances. I did see two but as soon as I asked, “was there a problem” the reply was no. This is what they are good at here, they always play down any problems and especially if they think you are tourists. There were many sorts of Bouncers, very big muscle men that kept everything in order and kept the people out who were they’re trying to sell things.
There were many speakers of all nationalities giving there encouragement and support to the locals. The entertainment was amazing. There were Singers, Dancers and Bands. The laser lights were very impressive along with the coloured smoke.
I stood on a chair to get these pictures. There was a sense of euphoria as I stood there taking in this wonderful performance. It was spectacular.
The day was a great success. The atmosphere was both electric and emotional. You could not help but be moved by the good will that was being spread and felt. The Egyptian and Nubian dancers in their most wonderful dress are what Egypt is all about.
It is now noticeable that the tourists are here and slowly coming back. It is such a welcoming site in Luxor. I believe all the usual flights are now back to Schedule from most countries.
I think that by the time some of you come back here; you will feel and see a difference. We can all hope.
