We went to the Valley of the Kings, which is a valley on the west bank of the Nile, near the city of Luxor.

The Valley of the Kings consists of two valleys,  the East Valley where the majority of the royal tombs are situated and West Valley. There are a total of 63 different tombs discovered to date in the Valley of the Kings. Our guide Aladino explained to us which of the tombs where the best ones to see and then we went our own to explore the tombs.

We headed to the first tomb which was one of the most detailed and largest of the tombs.

The tombs of Royals and Nobles were decorated decorated with scenes from Egyptian mythology.

There were some pristine and well preserved Egyptian hieroglyphs throughout some of the tombs. We were amazed at how detailed and precise the hieroglyphs were made. They are carved into the stone and contained very detailed features.

The Valley of the Kings is an archaeological and Egyptological exploration and its tombs and burials continue to be researched.

We went and explored one of the most famous archaeological sites in the world,  the tomb of Tutankhamun in the Valley of the Kings.

The Valley of the Kings  has become even more famous for the discovery of the tomb of Tutankhamun.

We walked through four different tombs throughout our time in the Valley of the Kings. They were very impressive with amazing Egyptian hieroglyphs, paintings, and stone etchings. Many of them were in pristine condition.

The tombs were built with the intention to easily transform the king or noble to transcend to the next world. The tombs were adorned with decorations and ancient texts to help guide the soul to the afterlife.

The time we spent in the Valley of the Kings was truly one of the highlights of our trip. We walked through the tombs and touched  500 year old history. Truly an amazing adventure.
