Luxor- Valley of Kings

In an area outside of Luxor – along the Nile is the Valley of Kings – resting place of Pharoahs. While the tombs have all been raided of treasures- the hieroglyphs are amazingly colorful.

We were able to tour 4 of the tomb sites and each was unique & fascinating. The coloring in these sites is provided by minerals – lapis lazuli, iron, copper to name a few. The coloring is magnificent. The tomb sites quite large – with walkways around 100-200 feet. Some of them declining up to 100feet deep.
