Nile and Plain of Thebes from east bank
The plain of Thebes from near Karnak. In the foreground is seen a modern saint's tomb in the middle-distance, the lateen sails of the Nile boats, the twin Colossi, and the Ramesêum stand out above the river, and the view is closed by the finest mountain in Egypt, whose steep ships are honeycombed with tombs, and whose towering mass guards and conceals the gloomy "Valley of the Kings" behind.
