Valley of the Kings: poor mans pyramids? Or Egypt in a time of budget cuts?
Who knows, but on the western side (again, sun sets over there so associated with the dead -we get it) in the hills/mountains is a hidden valley with a ton of tombs carved deep into the mountain.
Really can’t do this place justice:
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Valley_of_the_KingsWe went into several several tombs. Skipped King Tut’s as it is small and costly (guide recommended against it).
This is one of those experiences where you can’t believe what you are seeing while realizing that your presence is helping to destroy what everyone comes to see. Now that I have seen it time to close it down! No more human perspiration and humidity to destroy these ancient wonders!
J/k: can’t wait to go back.
