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.
The Valley of the Kings, the name evokes memories of ancient Egyptian pharaohs and their magnificent mausoleums. This canyon on the west bank of the Nile is a burial ground for pharaohs and nobles during the New Kingdom of ancient Egypt. It is buried with numerous pharaohs, including the famous Tutankhamun. With its rich historical and cultural values, the Valley of the Kings attracts visitors and scholars from all over the world to explore and research.

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.
Hatshepsut, the only female pharaoh during the ancient Egyptian Kingdom
📌Temple of Queen Hatshepsut (Al-deir Al-bahari Temple)
📍Location: Near the Valley of the Kings, Luxor, Egypt
Recommendation index🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟
🚌Transportation: Scenic Area Shuttle Bus
🔺 The tourist buses are parked at the entrance of the scenic area, and then the shuttle bus takes them to the Queen's Temple.
🎫Tickets: 50 L.E. (2016)
⌚️Visiting time: 1.5 hours (mainly the time to climb the stairs of the three-story building.)
📌Architectural features:
🔸Queen Hatshepsut and the designer of the temple, Senmut, put aside those gossips and unofficial histories, they must have met good talents.
🔹The name Hatshepsut is difficult to remember, so it is more often remembered as hot chicken soup.
🔸The Temple of Queen Hatshepsut is the only three-story temple in Egypt. However, the complete three floors can only be seen from a distance, and only the first and third floors can be seen when you walk in.
🔹There are many relief murals in the Temple of Hatshepsut, many of which still retain the red and yellow colors. Although it was destroyed on a large scale by Thutmose III, the murals that survived can show the daily life of the female pharaoh in power - wearing a fake beard and men's clothes.
📝Travel tips:
1⃣️The regional repair and protection work of the temple has been ongoing, which is considered to be sharpening the knife before cutting wood.
2⃣️The outdoor visiting area is very sunny, so pay attention to physical sun protection. Applying sunscreen alone is far from enough.

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 Valley of the Queens in Luxor is similar to the famous Valley of the Kings. Most of the people buried here are the queens of the ancient Egyptian pharaohs. There are about 20 ancient Egyptian queens buried in the Valley of the Queens, most of whom can be visited. However, the scale of the entire tomb is much smaller than that in the Valley of the Kings, and the degree of luxury is also a little less.

The Tomb of Ramses III is a very famous pharaoh tomb in Luxor. You can go deep into the tomb to visit. In the tomb passage, there are very exquisite murals and mysterious Egyptian hieroglyphs. There are still many unsolved mysteries here, and there is really a mysterious feeling surrounding you.
It is the largest mausoleum in the Valley of the Kings. It is very spectacular and shocking. The entire passage and chamber retain exquisite stone carvings and murals with brilliant colors. During the reigns of Ramses V and VI, the royal family was in turmoil. Senior officials and priests of Amun abused their power, controlled a lot of land and interfered with finances, making it impossible for the pharaoh to build the buildings he should have built. When Ramses VI died, he could only occupy the mausoleum of Ramses V. This formed the only tomb in the Valley of the Kings where two pharaohs coexisted in one tomb.
