Walk West Coast Egypt 10-Luxor

May 3, Queen of the Temple in the West Bank Valley of the Kings

Days off, I got a few days to third from Egypt hostels of the stairs down, I began to wonder, is my cerebellum balance problems, or really affected by the curse of the Pharaoh, to let me eat some hard time.

Public ferry across the River at the Luxor Temple, 10 to minute boat trip, good price, seems to be from, vehicles and a pound.

Across the River, vovage, westbound, surrounded by large areas of farmland, cool breeze wafting aroma of dirt and grass, that was refreshing! The sun slowly rises, distant, floating two or three huge hot air ballooning, it is said that God watch on the West Coast to 200 dollars.

First to see are two statues of roadside sit side by side door in the stone as agricultural giant, has very worn, faceless, North of a statue of the famous singing statue.

Previously every time the sun rising will sound, people guess is temperature changes make air in through gaps in the stone. Ad 170 years, carry out maintenance on stone, stone never sing a song.

Over the door, not far from agricultural statue came to a fork in the road, all of the West Bank are all here to buy tickets and now are scattered everywhere.

Turning on the right that leads to the Valley of the Kings and Queens Temple, straight is the Queen of the Valley, because of Egypt's most beautiful Nai Phil Natalie's tomb is not open, we gave the Queen Valley.

Cycling, climbing over a few small slope, then turn left on the right side of the road is unusually Qurna village, where the villagers of ancestors is the Pharaoh's Tomb Builders, their children and grandchildren of Pharaoh died generations daemon.

Village house of exterior walls are painted in various colors, also painted a variety of beautiful paintings, lion represents a brave, aircraft and ships on behalf of the family went to Mecca.

Queen Temple back on top of the cliff, with long bench and three floors of the Palace, near at the magnificent and came near, but still the kind of simplicity and the vicissitudes of life, because the Queen's step in the Queen's death destroy this temple, starting from the 19th century, people started to carry out repair and maintenance work have been along the continued ever since.

And maintenance of the Temple of the Queen also exists in dispute, the temple is like the great wall of China, took place too new, no repair place too. But the momentum of the temple, so that people cannot but that are not familiar with the Queen of the portico. 1995 terrorist is on the second floor in Temple of the Queen's platform, use rifles attacked visitors, many people lost their lives, Egypt's tourism therefore heavily damaged, that is what we see in Egypt in the sea of the direct cause of the police.

On the right side of the Temple from the Queen of the mountain climb up along the ridges over one or two hills, can reach the King Valley, not far away, but go to intermediate, far away from the Queen Valley visible to people that are still very much, my heart sank.

Although hot arid mountain path not obvious, but did not get lost. Approximately 40 minutes to get to the top of the Valley of the Kings. Experience the ancient kingdoms period Grand pyramids, the Pharaoh in Kingdom period in order to avoid the looters to mausoleum, will no longer build compelling pyramid, but secret buried in this humble Valley. But it is cut at the end of the looters, even in times of Pharaoh, stand had already started, and the result is that the King Valley almost all Pharaoh's tomb is empty, leaving a beautiful murals. And to Carter in 192? year discovered sakaltutan scammon's tomb is located on another Pharaoh of the Tomb below only survived in thousands of years. Blue skies, barren valleys still guarding the tomb of the Pharaoh for thousands of years, perhaps in the Valley of a corner, there is not yet discovered the secrets of the Pharaohs.

King Valley is on the tickets can be visited three 15LE and Tomb, the ticket office at the coach park, far from the US, the people from the mountains down.

Unfortunately we go, known as the most exquisite Xie Tethys a tomb is not open. In the Valley of Kings tomb of Pharaoh structure are not what most of the complex, frescoes depicting the Pharaoh died, the reservoir of God leads to another world. Murals of color, though after the Millennium, but still bright. This is what we in Egypt in the rare few monuments in color.

Leave the King Valley, the road back to the Queen of the Temple of the sun while hot, but also let the person's mood, in a strange land, so take a trip, really admire yourself.

At noon eastern, return the car back, billing, and sat afternoon long-distance bus to go to the Red Sea.

They are not careful, not to the station, I am a sand picture of the bottle touch broken, extremely depressed, because absent, cars to find old try, see if you can change it, they feel absolutely impossible, bin Laden's friends do not, in his little son, young man, left without any word, no problem, and then pick a bar, I was really impressed by anything but do not say.

Go to the Red Sea on the bus, I met two people, but people only care about Qi Qi I I, it is estimated that they suddenly found someone to listen and understand their words, they think we are out of the way.

Cars have air conditioning, fairly comfortable, open car DVD music sounded familiar, is legendary, but is in English, Arabic subtitles of pronunciation, Chinese people laugh. Chinese Kung Fu is amazing!

Great she road stops, near eight points to get to the Red Sea, along the coast and then open nearly an hour to reach our destination along the many haudaka, luxury hotels, which are Arab sheikhs holiday. from the station 10LE find LP on hotel Pharaoh Hotel 30 breakfast, room is very big, but the later bosses know ourselves out booked diving and dissatisfaction, and to increase the price, but also to raise prices, rage, next to the four seasons hotel, 35 room included two breakfast £ ®.
