Tomato harvest in Luxor
The tastiest tomatoes are grown in the Esna area. There is a place in Luxor where these are dried and then shipped to Italy. There they are packaged and sold in Europe as dried tomatoes.
At the moment you see trucks with tomatoes on every street.
The tomatoes are harvested in southern Egypt in winter and in northern Egypt in the Nile Delta in summer.

While the Pyramids of Giza are iconic symbols of ancient Egypt's grandeur, attracting crowds from all over the world, a collection of 118 equally marvelous pyramids remains in the shadows, out of the public eye, standing witness to a glorious past. The historical significance, architectural allure,....

Deir el-Schelwit ( Temple of goddess ISIS) in Luxor

This small temple is another temple that is not the focus of tour groups.
When you visit there, it is very likely that you will be the only visitors.
So I would like to recommend this place to you if you want to soak up the atmosphere of ancient Egypt undisturbed.

The temple was dedicated to the worship of the goddess ISIS and was built in the 1st century BC, later expanded in the Greco-Roman period.

Here you can find more detailed information about the temple:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Deir_el-Shelwit

When you visit the temple, don't forget to climb the stairs to the roof and enjoy the view over the desert.

Please contact me for your trip.
