Luxor was a short flight from Cairo. It was much greener in this part of the country. Driving wasn't quite as crazy either, probably because there weren't as many cars, motorcycles, horses, donkeys, or people.
Valley of the Queens
It was interesting to see people still working away in the mountain looking to uncover yet to be discovered treasures.

| I loved the ceiling with the stars in the sky painted. The colors looked great together. |

| Ryan drew a lot of attention before Justin this time. It was nice for him to have a turn. |
Valley of the Kings
Valley of the Kings is where many pharaohs, including King Tut, were buried. It was interesting to walk in them. They were much larger and deeper than I thought they would be. The hieroglyphics on the wall were amazing and many had brighter colors than I had previously seen. Of course they did not allow cameras here. :( I did get some pictures from our little train ride up to the area of the tombs. The pyramid shape you see on the mountain is natural, not a built pyramid.
