🎈The ancient Egyptians regarded the sunrise in the east as the beginning of everything and the sunset in the west as the end of everything, so all the temples were built on the east bank of the Nile, and the tombs were located on the west bank. The Valley of the Kings is the largest group of royal tombs in Egypt, where 64 pharaohs were buried. Due to the large number of tomb robbers, many tombs have been destroyed. 🎈However, the Valley of the Kings is the most popular among tourists in the entire trip, because you can take a hot air balloon to fly over the entire airspace and watch the beautiful sunrise at the same time. It is highly recommended! (But I have to get up at 4am…) #Egypt check-in spots #hot air balloon

We started a packed tour in Luxor with our first stop at Valley of the Kings, The Mortuary Temple of Queen Hatshepsut. Amazing to see the detail of the drawings on the walls, it looks a couple of years old, amazing that they've preserved it so well over the years. Tour guides tell the story beforehand because they are not to talk and explain inside the temples, it helps that you know the story when you go in and see the story on the wall. Hasteput was scorching hot we were in and out under 30 minutes. I would say this was least impressive of all the temples we've seen in Luxor. #valleyofthekings #hatshepsut #egypt #summervacation #luxor

Hatshepsut's Mortuary Temple A mortuary temple built by Hatshepsut, the only female pharaoh of ancient Egypt, located on the west bank of Luxor, Egypt. It was designed by Hatshepsut's close aide and architect Senmut. It was later partially destroyed by Thutmose III, who scraped off the murals and inscriptions. The west bank is home to necropolises such as the Valley of the Kings and Deir il-Amadina, and has been considered the "world of the dead."

Okay so Valley of the Kings was BONKERS. It's a series of tombs carved into a mountain range and all decorated with beautiful hieroglyphics and art. Many of the colours are still near-perfectly preserved. It was really mind blowing I've only ever watched documentaries and read books about ancient Egypt, imagining what it would be like to see it in person. I still can't believe I did and let me tell you, it was amazing ( To think I stood in a place that was built thousands of years ago, seeing the craft of ancient Egyptians and their way of life. It's a feeling I can't describe #urbanexplorer #newyearadventure #awesomepic

#newyearadventure #wintergetaway #bucketlistreboot Well this was one off the bucket list….. 6 am hot air balloon ride over the valley of the kings… it was absolutely amazing but a little scary also, we got picked up at 5am taken by minibus to the balloons and then all into the basket and off we go for a 30 minute ride… it cost about £40 but was well worth it. It was amazing to fly over the valley of the kings… what an adventure #wow

It takes around 1 hour from the city to valley of the kings, if I don’t remember wrongly. You can sit to the golf car to the valley of kings or you can walk as well. It is up to you. When you reach there, there are many tombs. However, there are no mummies here because all of the mummies is shipped to the museum. There is a tomb, you have to pay extra to access to the tomb. overall, this place is so beautiful.

This is one of the most incredible places in Egypt. The Valley of the Kings is where the pharaohs were secretly buried. 😊 There is more than 60 pharaohs buried here in differents caves. The entrance fee is 5 euros and give you the right to enter 3 differents caves at your choices. Some caves are more expansive. It completely worth the visit. There is a restaurant and a bar inside the Valley of the Kings where you can buy a bottle of water if you need. It’s completely amazing. 👏🏻 #museumquest#summervacation

#MarchGoodPlaces2025 The Valley of the Kings is located in the Thebes region (now Luxor) on the west bank of the Nile River in Egypt. It is the cemetery of pharaohs and nobles during the New Kingdom period of ancient Egypt (1550-1070 BC). The Valley of the Kings is famous for its numerous tombs and rich historical heritage. One of the most famous discoveries is the tomb of Pharaoh Tutankhamun, discovered by British archaeologist Howard Carter in 1922. The main open tombs in the Valley of the Kings are: 1. Funeral Hall of Ramses III: There are reliefs showing the deeds of Ramses III: conquering enemies, hunting wild bulls, etc. In the second courtyard there is a colonnade room consisting of 24 stone columns, with brightly colored reliefs preserved on the top. 2. Amenhotep II (18th Dynasty): The two pillars in the Sanxiang Tomb Chamber are painted with Osiris, Anubis, Hathor, Horus and Amenhotep II. 3. Tutankhamun (18th Dynasty): The pharaoh's mummy is still placed in the tomb. On the front wall of the tomb are paintings of King Tutankhamun appearing in the image of the god Osiris, and his successor King Ay.

#springwander #egypt #tomb KV6- Tomb of Ramses IX is hands down one of the best tombs to visit in Egypt. Tomb is well-detailed and also closest to the entry point. The hieroglyphs on the walls are a sight to behold. When you get an entrance ticket , visit to three tombs is included. So, I highly recommend visiting this one. Visiting in spring is the perfect time to check this out. You will like seeing the colourful inscriptions and paintings in the large corridors.

#AustraliaFlightEvent The entrance fee to the Hatshepsut Mortuary Temple was quite expensive, but it was a wonderful experience. The grand scale of the temple and the detailed murals were truly impressive. In particular, I could vividly feel the ancient Egyptian culture in the structures and sculptures honoring the achievements of Queen Hatshepsut. This temple, which shows the essence of ancient architecture, has great historical value in itself, and after visiting, I was convinced that it was worth it. It was a wonderful experience that was worth the expensive entrance fee. It is a place worth paying the entrance fee and visiting! I recommend this kind of Hatshepsut ⭐️
