On the west side of the Nile in a hot, dry desert valley are the tombs of many of the kings of Egypt. That is our destination this morning. We cross the Nile on a boat and then drive toward the Valley of the Kings. It is already very, very hot!
Our ticket allowed us to visit three tombs. It was an extra ticket for King Tut.
The next is King Ramses III
And finally, the queen Tausert
Next stop is the temple of the only woman Pharoah, Hatshepsut. It is so vey hot!! It contains many statues of her. Egypt was peaceful under reign and she accomplished many building projects.
