Valley of the Kings Visit: the last stage of the royal tombs development 

On the same steps of Inini, arrive at these royal tombs at the Valley of the Kings. Inini was the engineer of Thutmose I and who discovered the site of the Valley of the Kings to be the spot of the royal tombs.

So, Thutmose I was the first king ordered to carve a tomb in the Valley of the Kings.

Once arriving at the site, we leave the vehicle in the car parking, and then we walk through the bazaar's area, which is about 100 meters, arriving at the visitor center, where we witness the architectural model for the whole area of the Valley of the Kings and where we book the tickets. 

Scan the ticket, and then we book the tickets of the electric cars to the entrance; you can visit 3 tombs out of 7 open tombs, plus there are 3 tombs with an extra charge.

Hear the Egyptologist's explanation, including how the ancient Egyptians had built these tombs, the accurate number of the builders, and other facts, like the king beginning to create his tomb from just accession to the throne and until death.

As soon as the workers know that the king was dead, they stopped working in the cemetery. They had only 70 days until the king’s mummification is completed, and once he is buried, the cemetery is never opened.

This Egyptologist recommends for you the best-ever tombs in this site for vivid and unique inscriptions.

Hatshepsut Temple Visit:

The distance between the Valley of the Kings and the Hatshepsut Temple is around 7 minutes.

It is a gift from the history for the best photosession ever that will enrich your social media due to the uniqueness of this temple design, as the mountain itself, where the temple was carved, took a shape of half a moon, as if the mountain hugged it; no temple came before or after it with this design.

Three terraces are shown in front of this mountain, and three others have been carved into the mountain. 

Wander amid the mysteries of this woman who ruled ancient Egypt for 23 years and revived the trade for Egypt by establishing commercial relations with the country of Punt.
