Sightseeing
Luxor Temple has a significant meaning in relation to all things Spiritual. Not on the Physical Temple but on a spiritual level, you know in the invisible there is another temple that overlays this one. This etheric temple is connected to everyone of us and our spiritual evolution. Ask me about it when you come.
