We hired a horse and carriage for a ride through Luxor. The highlights of the ride were the souqs (bazaars). These are markets frequented by the locals, not tourists. They were comprised of a series of road and alleys and stands, selling fruit, spices, and more. Michelle bought a good luck Fatimid bronze hand from 2 of the carriage drivers. One of the hands has beads, the other does not. These aren't typcially for sale, the drivers hand them on their carriages for good luck. Seems like a pretty authentic souvenier. I plan to use on of the hand as a dash ornament for my car[iagge] when we get home.
