| Scattered throughout the Valley of the Kings are the tombs of the ancient kings of Egypt. Enjoy your drive throughout the lovely desert. | |||
Sights to See |
Near Luxor and hidden behind the Theban Hills, on the West Bank of the
Nile, lies the Valley of the Kings. Tombs of Egyptian kings including
Tut-Ankh-Amun, Ramses II, Amenhotep II are located in this area. Many
of the tombs have been looted long ago, but a few remain intact, and
are the subject of study. The valley itself is narrow with many steep rocky passes. It is possible to hike through the valley, but we recommend that you conserve your energy to explore one of the magnificent tombs and take a four wheel drive vehicle through the valley instead. If you can, hire an experienced driver, as the passes are often precarious and can be quite dangerous for an untrained driver. If you cannot hire a driver, then use extreme caution when you take a vehicle through the valley. |

Locals |
There isn't much around, in terms of indigenous wild-life, but you will encounter some of the locals. They're not the friendly tourist-welcoming types, so keep a hand on your wallet or your gun. | ||
Souvenirs
|
There's none to speak of, but if you don't have a vehicle, you may want to lift the Ignition Keys off of someone and boost their ride to get you through the valley. | ||
Hidden Treasures |
There are three. Two are available to you if you take the time to explore. The third can easily be missed if you're not the kind of traveler that pulls over every so often to take in the sights. | ||
Hazards |
The gang of mercenaries can be a problem early on, but if you need to, use your shotgun to make short work of them. Besides the mercenaries, there's the occasional danger of getting involved in a motor vehicle accident, but that's about it. | ||
