The Valley of the Kings, also known as the Valley of the Kings, is on the west bank of the Nile, the final resting place of the pharaohs of Egypt, the Valley of the Kings, or, more commonly, the tombs of the pharaohs, 1500-1000 BC, during their reign. The carved graves are all located in the pyramids of the valley. More than 60 graves have been excavated in the Valley of the Kings. The valley is also one of Egypt's famous attractions. The Valley of the Kings is also a huge khaki mountain from the outside. It is said that the Pharaohs in ancient Egypt admired the pyramid culture very much. Even thinking that being buried here is the most supreme glory, so finally chose the pyramid-like King Valley as a habitat to pay attention to: 1. The ticket contains three tombs, and it is officially random. You can only see which three today. There are several tombs that spend money alone that are opened every day, but you need to buy tickets separately. 2. The camera should be at the entrance, not far from the ticket office. You are not allowed to take pictures after entering the tomb. Otherwise, you will definitely be punished. People point to this life without warning you at all, and punish you directly. (You can give you $2 after you are caught) But you can buy a photo ticket at the ticket office 300. If you take a mobile phone photo, you can only take it outside, not in the tomb. Tickets: 240 Egyptian pounds, and Tutankhamun tomb alone buys 300 Egyptian pounds. Jingjiao car 5 pounds (15 minutes walk time: 6:00-17:00 Address: Luxor West Bank Transportation: After crossing the river by boat, it still needs 8 kilometers. After walking for 1 hour and 40 minutes, the hit will be black, but there is no way, there is no other transportation method.
The Valley of the Emperors - Luxor on the west bank of the Nile. There are 63 imperial tombs, buried 64 pharaohs from the 17th to the 20th dynasty. The Valley of the Emperors was once known as the "Great Cemetery of Pharaohs of the Everlasting Ages". This is a valley where individuals are inaccessible, surrounded by steep cliffs. Pharaohs chose to be buried here to avoid theft of the tomb. It is a pity that photography is strictly prohibited in the entire scenic area.
Buried by many pharaohs, including Ramses II and the Valley of the Kings of Tutankhamun. You can visit 3 mausoleums with tickets, and you have to buy tickets if you want to visit more. However, the three mausoleums are quite tired to visit, each one is deep underground, and the stairs have to climb up and down. The appearance of the Imperial Valley is just a variety of hills. Every mausoleum entrance has a introduction to the master of the mausoleum and the interior. Unfortunately, the interior cannot be photographed. If you take pictures, there will be staff who ask you to pay. You can only remake a few postcards to feel it.
[Attractions] The Valley of the Emperors is the main mausoleum area of Pharaohs and nobles during the 18th to 20th Dynasty of ancient Egypt (circa 1539 BC to 1075 BC). 62 mausoleums have now been developed. We all know that the Egyptian pyramids are the tombs of Egyptian Pharaohs, and during the new Egyptian dynasty, Egyptian emperors buried their tombs quietly underground. Because the pharaohs were afraid of the tombs of future generations, they built their tombs in this barren valley, looking around, all they saw was this yellow sand dune. But we have to say that the Valley of the Emperor is really a great attraction. Tickets are 80 € per person, one ticket can only see 3 mausoleums, totem kamone mausoleums to pay an additional 100 €. All mausoleums are not allowed to take pictures. We arrived at the sights about 8 o'clock in the morning, the sun just rose, shining on the Valley of the Emperors, very spectacular. At the same time, I admired the location of the emperors at that time. The place they chose was really good. The whole place of the Imperial Valley was sunken, and the surrounding area was very deserted, but it was very solemn. Now visit the mausoleum, there is basically nothing inside, but the mausoleum has many murals and carved texts, which is very worth seeing. Since one ticket can only see 3 mausoleums, we can only pick and see three mausoleums. Overall, it is well worth visiting the Valley of the Emperors, and few tour teams will visit the Valley of the Emperors.
The archaeological excavation of the Imperial Valley has been carried out. When I entered the Imperial Valley, there was no signal on the mobile phone, which was also real magic. Before I went, the Imperial Valley I imagined was very big. Really went in and found that even the furthest on the map was okay, not far away.
