French PresidentNicolas Sarkozy and his model-turned-singer girlfriend, Carla Bruni, visit the Karnak temple in Luxor, south of Cairo, on Wednesday.
French billionaire Vincent Bollore provided the plane that brought Sarkozy, Bruni and nine others from Paris to the pharaonic splendour of Luxor, where the recently divorced Sarkozy will relax for a few days ahead of an official visit on December 30.
