#2024TravelReview#HistoricalSite#Egypt#Luxor The Valley of the Queens is the place where the wives of the ancient Egyptian pharaohs were buried after their death. It was mainly popular during the 18th, 19th and 20th dynasties of ancient Egypt. There are no crowds like the Valley of the Kings, but the murals are well preserved ✨️, with bright colors, and are worth a visit 💕. The most famous tomb is Nefertari's, which costs 2,000 Egyptian pounds to visit at your own expense, but you can only see it for ten minutes. When we went there, the Temple of Nefertari was not open and was under repair, so we could only visit other tombs. 🕰️Business hours: 6:00-17:00 0🏖️Atmosphere/facilities: solemn and beautiful 📍Address: Luxor 💰Per capita consumption: 220 Egyptian pounds for foreigners 💞Recommended reason: The murals are complete and bright 🗓️Itinerary: about one hour

| Is Egypt's most expensive ticket worth it?📝 The Valley of the Queens in Luxor is definitely the most expensive attraction in all of Egypt, with an entry fee of 180 Egyptian pounds, and if you want to see the tomb of Nefertari, it will cost an additional 2000 Egyptian pounds. 📝 It only takes 10 minutes to drive from the Valley of the Kings to the Valley of the Queens, just search for Valley of the Queens in your navigation system. Some charter drivers might be reluctant to visit this site, so it's recommended to confirm the trip in advance. ❓ Is it worth visiting 📍 The most worthwhile tomb to see in the Valley of the Queens is QV66, which is the tomb of Nefertari that charges an extra 2000 Egyptian pounds. Personally, I think the murals inside the tomb are more exquisite than those in the Valley of the Kings. 📍 At the entrance of the QV66 tomb, it states that visitors are only allowed 10 minutes (P2), but in practice, they are not so strict. If you want to stay a bit longer, just tip the staff. However, the tomb is quite stuffy, and 15 minutes is enough to see everything. 📍 As for the other tombs in the Valley of the Queens, they are quite ordinary and cannot compare with the Valley of the Kings. If you're not visiting QV66, then there's no need to go to the Valley of the Queens. 📍 The tomb of Nefertari was opened in 1992. She is said to be the most beautiful queen in Egyptian history and was the favorite wife of the famous Pharaoh Ramses II. 📍 Inside the tomb, there are also verses written by Ramses II to Nefertari on the walls: 📜 My love is unique, 📜 No one can compare to her, 📜 For she is the most beautiful woman in the world, 📜 Through mere contact, 📜 She has already stolen my heart. 📍 A visit to the Valley of the Queens takes about 40 minutes to 1 hour, and if time and budget allow, it's still recommended to go see it. The murals are truly more exquisite than those in the Valley of the Kings, and you can refer to the photos P3-P8.

| Detailed itinerary. 📝I just went to Egypt for 10 days. I traveled freely throughout the whole trip, basically visiting everything except the Sinai Peninsula. 📝There are many pitfalls in Egypt’s tourism, and the information is not very transparent, so I will share a series of detailed strategies in the future.

|Complete guide to temple and tomb attractions. First of all, I am a heavy enthusiast, my visiting time is long, the driver accompanied me from 10 am to 5 pm when the Valley of the Kings closed, a full 7 hours, when he sent me back to the hotel, the guy didn't want to talk to me anymore. ✓The charter range on the west bank is 300～500EGP, I don't want to bother haggling, I finally set off at 400EGP. ✓During the interval, he will also take private jobs, before coming out of each attraction, just call him to pick you up. ✓The driver may find reasons to increase the price halfway, don't care, just keep brainwashing him that the friendship between China and Egypt is everlasting. ✓All tickets can be paid in Egyptian pounds EGP, give the ticket seller some change, and go to the window to talk when no one is there. ✓Habu City, Temple of Ramses II, these two temples have a lot of columns in the hall for taking pictures, girls can stay longer for photos. ①Colossi of Memnon Ticket: Free Actually, it is the statue of Amenhotep III himself, 18 meters high, but the Greeks thought it was the African king Memnon killed by Achilles, and the statue of Memnon has been a tourist attraction since the Roman period. ②Habu City Ticket: 200EGP The great victory of Ramses III's Libyan war, and also the first place in Thebes to establish a connection with the god Amun. ③Ramesseum Ticket: 180EGP A collapsed 17.5-meter pharaoh giant statue, 29 of the beautifully carved 48 giant columns are left, and the Hittite battle of Ramses II. ④Deir Al Medina Ticket: 200EGP Some small tombs of sculptors, craftsmen, and clerks, definitely an underestimated place, although small in scale, the story is absolutely wonderful, mainly painting, less intaglio. ⑤Hatshepsut Shuttle: 10EGP～can be saved. It's just a few steps away Ticket: 360EGP An overestimated attraction, I'm not disappointed, everyone go and see for yourself. ⑥Carter's House Ticket: 200EGP Since you're here, it's the villa of the discoverer of Tutankhamun's tomb. ⑦King's Valley Shuttle: 20EGP～Don't save. It's really hot Ticket: 600EGP (including 3 optional tombs) Recommended: KV2 Tomb of Ramses IV KV11 Tomb of Ramses III KV8 Tomb of Merenptah KV35 Tomb of Amenhotep II KV6 Tomb of Ramses IX Two additional tickets for the Valley of the Kings: KV17 Tomb of Seti I Ticket: 1800EGP (I didn't hit an extra 0) KV9 Tomb of Ramses V/VI Ticket: 180EGP

The Valley of Kings and Queens in Egypt has more than sixty tombs of kings and queens, with the stunningly vivid bas-reliefs still intact. The tip of the mountain clearly resembles a pyramid, and the pharaohs of the New Dynasty directly used the natural pyramid. The most famous in the valley is the tomb temple of the legendary queen Hatshepsut in the Valley of Queens.

I went to the Tomb of Nefertari in the Valley of the Queens, which is probably the tomb with the most expensive admission fee among the ruins in Luxor. (And since I went on December 1st, the prices of the ruins in Luxor have increased overall 😇 I couldn't help but hang my head at the ticket counter) But it was worth the 10,000 yen admission fee! Compared to the murals in the tombs in the Valley of the Kings, the murals in this tomb have a vivid, raw quality, and the colors make me wonder if they really just repainted them? I can't believe such a cute mural of Anubis still remains! I was so impressed 🐕 As expected, there were only a few tourists because it's a ruin with a high admission fee, so I was able to visit the tomb with the place to myself. (But it's hard to escape from the tip attacks of Egyptian old men 😇 They let me inside the fence and took a picture for me, so I gave it to them, but they said it wasn't enough lol) By the way, this place isn't included in the normal Luxor sightseeing tour, so I went around on my own! I negotiated with a taxi the day before and got a half-day tour for 32 USD + tip. These are the four places we went to: 1. Valley of the Kings ・Ramses I (KV16)・Merneptah (KV8)・Ramses IV (KV2)・Seti I (KV17) ・Tutankhamun 2. Queen Hatshepsut Temple 3. Tour around the Valley of the Queens (Nefertari's) 4. Medinet Hub The driver said, "I'll take you around the other places too!" Even though it's December, Luxor is still hot, and there's a lot of walking around the ruins and climbing steep slopes and stairs. So, I recommend that you take your time and consider your stamina and wallet! Personally, I would have liked to spend about a week sightseeing. #Luxor #ValleyoftheQueens #TombofNefertari

Valley of the Queens It is located near the Valley of the Kings. While pharaohs are buried in the Valley of the Kings, mainly the wives of pharaohs are buried here. The most famous tomb is that of Nefertari, the first wife of the 19th dynasty pharaoh Ramses II. Compared to the Valley of the Kings, it is smaller in scale and more compact. There is the tomb of Nefertari, which has been preserved and cleaned. It is expensive and a separate fee, but it is recommended to see it. I couldn't go because of the price, so please see it for me. There is a daily admission limit, but it is beautiful, so please see it. #WorldHeritage #Egypt #EgyptTrip #ValleyOfTheQueens #Luxor

The most beautiful woman loved by Ramses II! The tomb of #Nefertari, queen of Ramses II! A time travel place where you can experience ecstasy that is worth paying 100,000 won for 10 minutes of viewing time! A time slip space where you can get a life photo! At the entrance to the tomb, there is a "10-minute viewing" sign, and when you go down the stairs, you will see a mural of Nefertari playing chess with the goddess. Next to it is a painting depicting the process of making Nefertari into a mummy and a mural personifying Nefertari's chess. A scene where the goddess Hathor, the goddess Isis, and the god Horus lead Nefertari to Osiris, offerings to the gods, sacred texts written in the Book of the Dead... If you are in a state of ecstasy, a tall Egyptian handsome man will come and take a picture for you. The tomb manager... (and will ask for 1 dollar~^^) The hidden secret of Egypt, the best secret of the Valley of the Queens, an old cultural heritage site that Caesar toured 2000 years ago! The colors of the murals created 3-4000 years ago change when touched by human breath, so it is temporarily open... I recommend you visit before the door of opportunity opens.
