Valley of the Kings

The west bank of the Nile and the Valley of the Kings , where 64 of Egypt ’s Pharaohs have their royal tombs hewn into the sheer rock.

And as we leave, we pass 

Working with native stone - 

Alabaster

And now for the Queen

Smaller tombs on each side in the clifts

The famous 5,000 year old tree

More views and the long, hot walk 

The long, long, hot, hot walk back

The impressive Deir El Baharl Colossi of Memnon, two huge seated statues of Amenhotep III, with the Valley of the Kings on the horizon
