Valley of the Kings


This is a natural formation in a pyramid shape which is why the Pharaoh's choose to place their tombs in this valley. There are 63 tombs in the valley. The admission to the area allows you to enter 3 tombs. You can't take pictures in the tombs. We visited the tombs of Ramses the I, III and IV. The colors on the walls were just amazing. It looks like the hieroglyphics were carved and painted yesterday.
