Today was the Valley of the Kings. We left the boat at 8:00am and bussed out into the desert. You are not allowed to take photos there, so we will have to Google some later. We went into King Tutankhamun's tomb and saw his sarcophagus and mummy which is too fragile to move anywhere else. Went into 3 other tombs then on to Hatshepsut's temple, Deir al-Medina and Medimat Habu. (Look them up.) All were most interesting with coloured paintings still so bright after 3000 years. We finally got back for lunch at 3:00pm.
We all loafed around for a while and regrouped at 18:00 to walk across the road to the Luxor temple which is flood lit at night. Again, very spectacular.
Hope to be able to sleep in a bit tomorrow.
