    It was quite hot, and there was no place to hide from the sun. I wonder how much manpower it took to dig out such a large-scale group of pharaoh tombs in such a difficult place thousands of years ago... It's worth a look, but to be honest, it's a bit expensive. The ticket only includes 3 tombs. If you want to see more, you have to buy more tomb tickets at your own expense, which is really not very user-friendly. The tombs are dry and painted with mineral pigments on the stones, so they are well preserved and colorful.

    I just visited the temple of Abu Simbel, a heart-shaking experience. The grandeur and mystery of the temple deeply attracted me, making me feel like I was crossing the glory days of ancient Egypt. Standing among these historical relics, I felt the flow of time and the greatness of civilization. Every stone and every mural tell the story of the past, which is awe-inspiring. It is not only a tourist attraction, but also a vivid history lesson. For tourists who love history and culture, the temple of Abu Simbel is definitely worth a visit, its charm cannot be fully expressed in words, only by personal experience can it be deeply felt.

    It is located in the valley, just below the cliff, and is very impressive. There is still a short distance after entering the scenic area. You can take the scenic area's small car to the bottom of the long road. This is a building that has entered the architecture textbook.

    There is a very magical desert outside Cairo. The desert here is covered with a layer of white sand like snow. It looks very strange, and there are many weathered rocks in this desert with strange shapes. It seems like you have come to an alien planet. It is definitely a good place to take pictures.

    The Queen's Chamber in Luxor echoes the famous Valley of the Kings, where more than 30 queens of ancient Egypt are buried. More than 20 of them are open to the public. The scale here is much smaller than that of the Valley of the Kings, but it also has exquisite murals and many precious cultural relics unearthed. You may as well visit and explore it.

    The Tomb of Pharaoh Tutankhamun is the most important pharaoh's tomb in Luke. Many precious cultural relics and the mummy of Pharaoh Tutankhamun have been unearthed here. Moreover, the interior decoration of Suzuki is magnificent. Although it has been more than 4,000 years, the murals are still very bright, allowing people to learn a lot of precious Egyptian history. It is one of the most important tombs in the entire ancient emperors, so don't miss it.
