an amazing experience following in the steps of the workman that built the tombs on their daily commute from their homes at hatshepsut temple on one side of the mountain to the Valley of the Kings on the other side.
I guess one could call this trip the poor man's balloon ride as the views you will get were similar but the price is a lot cheaper. Of course, the tour took a little longer than the balloon rides as well, which themselves take only a little more than an hour.
Actually at the top one realizes the relationship between the Valley of the Kings and Deir El Bahri much more clearly. It is only a short distance between the two. It made it much easier to understand the relationship between Hatshepsut's tomb and her temple. The Valley lay beneath you feet and you could see what looked like small ants scurrying around going into tombs, the entrances of which you could see clearly. On the other side you can look straight down on the top terrace of Hatshepsut's temple and the ramps of the lower levels. |

| in the very early morning when the sun rises up , we r going to cross the nile by a motor boat to ride donkeys to the valley of the kings the burial place of the pharaohs of the new kingdom ( a period of more than five hundred years)the place where the mummies of hatschepsut , ramsis 2, tuthmosis3 . tut & others had been found there . tombs would have been white washed & painted in b brightful colors that remained untouched giving you the impression that they were done few days before. these tombs gave us an insight of the beliefs of the egyptian & their concern of the life after their death , we will also visit the temple of queen Hatshepsut our lady _pharaoh for over 20 years, this temple is unique&completely different in style & design from the other temples all over egypt. on our way back we will stop few minutes to take quick shot of the two colossi of memnon which stood once by the entrance of a big temple of king amenophis3 the father of akhnaton the only king who call for the sole god, back to hotel |
