Valley of the Kings

" The Valley of the Kings, situated on the west bank of the Nile River near Luxor, Egypt, has a storied history as a burial ground for pharaohs and nobles of the New Kingdom period (approximately 16th to 11th century BCE). This secluded valley holds monumental tombs, including those of Tutankhamun, Ramses II, and Seti I, renowned for their elaborate decorations and intricate hieroglyphs. Discovered in modern times by Howard Carter in 1922, the valley has since attracted global attention, becoming a popular tourist destination. To reach the Valley of the Kings locally, visitors typically opt for car or taxi transport from Luxor, with taxis readily available in the city. Guided tours from Luxor often include transportation to and from the valley, along with visits to various tombs. Alternatively, some choose to sail across the Nile on a felucca for a scenic journey to the west bank. Once there, visitors can explore several open tombs, each offering a fascinating insight into ancient Egyptian burial practices and artwork. It's advisable to purchase a ticket granting access to multiple tombs and consider hiring a local guide for a more enriching experience amidst the valley's historical wonders."

"Okay, after the pyramids, they buried pharaohs here. Most impressive is Seti I's tomb (but is considerably expensive compared to the rest)."
