The Habu Hotel...

Post by Who2 »

A friend sent me this link ; we had such plans for this place.
The link doesn't work but anyhow...it's reopened as an eco hotel. eco = green = cheap...

The history of this old hotel would make a great film.

Built upon profits from ancient artifacts it's history is something else.
One head of family never left the hotel without his sidearm.
The Chief of Police a regular, 'think! Rick's Bar in Casablanca.

It took me loads of flights to capture †his picture...

6am as the sun hits the hotel, bottom right...
Here is a really weird bit of film...


The salon could accomodate 100 people the ceilings 20ft high with columns, the rooms ? curved hovels...
But, they did throw out eject Zahi Hawass once,....
Anyhow, It's well worth a visit if visiting Habu and their bound to have iced cold Stella's.... 8)

Ps: If you watched the film and thought! what the f*** / as I did here is an explanation...enjoy..


2005-2006. And was one of the evening .Performances. Ein Konzert mit den Türen im Hotel Habu in Medinet Habu Theben Westägypten der Film zeigt ein performanc, in dem ein Hotel das Instrument und die Türen des Hotels ist, das den Ton bildet. Hier wird ein Gebäude ein Instrument ein Orchester. Und wir erfahren die lebendige Musik dieses Platzes. Es happend auf der Zusammenstellung Habu in Medin et Habu 2005-2006. Und war eins der Abend Performances. avantgarde
