Luxor, Egypt

Crossing the Nile to the Luxor's West bank

If you wake up early enough you can catch the hot air ballon rides on the West bank. We opted to take a different perspective and view the hillsides where all the kings and queens are burried. hired a cab to take us to the Valley of the Kings, Hatshepsut, and Valley of the Queens. I don't think i fully enjoyed the trip into Valley of the kings because they forced us to leave our cameras with our cab driver. We gave him extra tip when we came back and it was still there. Half of the tombs we wanted to see were still being dug or closed off for reconstruction. Supposedly the spot of the valley of the kings was choosen so that no one would find these tombs, but of course peopole raided the treasures meant for the afterlife and now it's dug up for tourism.
