Sunday Demonstration March
The march stated at the Memnon at about 7.30-am. From there the people gathered and then made their way by motorbikes, cars, buses, walking and so on down the main road to Gazira; the photos show the mood of all the happy and peaceful people. In front of the ferry terminal they all gathered where a stage was erected with microphones and speakers. There were many well-put together banners being shown. The atmosphere and the people were great, all very friendly and wanting to take pictures with me.
From Gazira the ceremony moves to Qurna where they say there will be many, many people and is the main part of the day.
The demonstration was to denounce what they called “plots against the Al-Azhar institution to bring it under Muslim Brotherhood control,” and marched around the streets of Luxor.
