Getting A Tour
Visit The Valley Of The Kings
Situated on the west banks of the River Nile, near Luxor, the Valley of the Kings is a set of royal burial grounds. There are some 63 tombs here of varying sizes, many of which you can explore. Some are just single rooms. However, there is one that has a staggering 120 different chambers. The tombs were mostly created around 1500 BC.
The Pyramids of Giza are the last remaining ancient wonder of the world. Seeing this is one of the most amazing experiences that you will get. To think that these were built over 4000 years ago is mind-blowing. Built by farmers while their land was flooded, the pyramids were built over a period of around 80 years.
Of course, you cannot visit Giza without checking out the most iconic structure; the Sphinx. This lion and human crossbreed has been stood staring out towards the east since 2500BC. Its nose has been missing for the last 1500 years or so when it was believed to have been chopped off on purpose. If these rocks could talk, they would probably have some fascinating stories to tell about the ancient people that lived in this world.
