Our first trip to Egypt was very enjoyable and we really couldn’t imagine what this trip would be like without visiting some of the Egyptian attractions. We stayed in Soma Bay so the obvious choice was to visit Luxor and the Valley of the Kings. My overall impression is "this is all!" Yes, I can say it's good to see the tomb, but forget everything you see in Hollywood, they're much better than here. There are 10 graves here, you can only visit 3 of them, but visiting the tombs takes an extra fee. The tomb consists of long and deep corridors, some of which have steep slopes leading to the central tomb area, that's all. I was happy to see hieroglyphs and a pair of sarcophagus, but nothing else. After entering the valley, don't expect to find refreshments anywhere, you need to bring everything, if you have illness, you will find walking difficulties, breathing difficulties, etc. I don't recommend doing this, it will waste your money. My wife's legs weren't bad but she found it very difficult to climb out of the steep hillside which meant we spent longer than some people to see the grave and she didn't like the trip eventually. It took two and a half hours by coach from Soma Bay to Luxor. It was a long day and we were happy we did it, but we shouldn't be coming again.

    Valley of the Kings is a must see in Egypt. The burial place of a ton of historical figures including King Tut. Give yourself plenty of time when going though because it takes a long time to see everything.

    The Valley of the Kings, also known as the Valley of the Kings, is on the west bank of the Nile, the final resting place of the pharaohs of Egypt, the Valley of the Kings, or, more commonly, the tombs of the pharaohs, 1500-1000 BC, during their reign. The carved graves are all located in the pyramids of the valley. More than 60 graves have been excavated in the Valley of the Kings. The valley is also one of Egypt's famous attractions. The Valley of the Kings is also a huge khaki mountain from the outside. It is said that the Pharaohs in ancient Egypt admired the pyramid culture very much. Even thinking that being buried here is the most supreme glory, so finally chose the pyramid-like King Valley as a habitat to pay attention to: 1. The ticket contains three tombs, and it is officially random. You can only see which three today. There are several tombs that spend money alone that are opened every day, but you need to buy tickets separately. 2. The camera should be at the entrance, not far from the ticket office. You are not allowed to take pictures after entering the tomb. Otherwise, you will definitely be punished. People point to this life without warning you at all, and punish you directly. (You can give you $2 after you are caught) But you can buy a photo ticket at the ticket office 300. If you take a mobile phone photo, you can only take it outside, not in the tomb. Tickets: 240 Egyptian pounds, and Tutankhamun tomb alone buys 300 Egyptian pounds. Jingjiao car 5 pounds (15 minutes walk time: 6:00-17:00 Address: Luxor West Bank Transportation: After crossing the river by boat, it still needs 8 kilometers. After walking for 1 hour and 40 minutes, the hit will be black, but there is no way, there is no other transportation method.

    Valley of the Kings - Luxor on the West Bank of the Nile River. There are 63 mausoleums of emperors and 64 Pharaohs buried between the 17th and 20th dynasties. The Valley of the Kings was once called the Great Cemetery of the Pharaohs of the Wandai Dynasty. This is a valley of few people, surrounded by steep cliffs, where the Pharaohs chose to bury in order to avoid burglaries. Photographs are strictly prohibited throughout the scenic area, which is a little regrettable.

    Buried by many pharaohs, including Ramses II and the Valley of the Kings of Tutankhamun. You can visit 3 mausoleums with tickets, and you have to buy tickets if you want to visit more. However, the three mausoleums are quite tired to visit, each one is deep underground, and the stairs have to climb up and down. The appearance of the Imperial Valley is just a variety of hills. Every mausoleum entrance has a introduction to the master of the mausoleum and the interior. Unfortunately, the interior cannot be photographed. If you take pictures, there will be staff who ask you to pay. You can only remake a few postcards to feel it.

    The Valley of the Kings is the main tomb area of the Pharaohs and nobles from the 18th to 20th dynasties (from 1539 B.C. to 1075 B.C.) in ancient Egypt. Sixty-two mausoleums have been developed. We all know that Egyptian pyramids are the tombs of Egyptian pharaohs. During the New Dynasty, Egyptian emperors buried their tombs quietly underground. Because the Pharaohs feared that future generations would steal tombs, they built their tombs in this barren Valley and looked around, only the Loess dunes could be seen. But we have to say that the Valley of the Kings is really a great attraction. Ticket prices are 80 pounds a person, a ticket can only see three mausoleums, totem Carmon's mausoleum to pay an additional 100 pounds. Photographs are not allowed in all mausoleums. We arrived at the scenic spot at about 8 a.m., and the sun just rose, shining on the Valley of the Kings, was very spectacular. At the same time, I admire the location of the emperors at that time. The place they chose was really good. The whole area of the Valley of Emperors was hollow, the surrounding area was very barren, but it was very solemn. Now when we visit the mausoleum, there is almost nothing in it, but there are many murals and carved characters in the mausoleum, which is very worth seeing. Since only three mausoleums can be seen by one ticket, we can only pick and see three mausoleums. Generally speaking, it is very worthwhile to come to the Valley of the Kings. Few tour groups will visit the Valley of the Kings.

    The archaeological excavation of the Valley of the Emperor has been going on all the time. When we enter the Valley of the Emperor, there will be no signal on the mobile phone, which is also the magic of real. Before I went, I imagined the Valley of the Kings was very big. Really go in and find that even the farthest one on the map is still good, not far.
