Valley of the Kings & Queen Hatsepsout's Temple

October 12: Tours today included the Valley of the Kings where we visited the tombs of Ramses IV, VII, and IX. I had to see King Tutankhamen's tomb, so paid extra for that. His mummy is there as is an outer coffin and sarcophagous. Photography in the Valley of the Kings is not permitted, but you can see what it looks like in Wikipedia.

Afterward, we toured Queen Hasepsout's Temple which is near the Valley of the Kings. Here I am in front of the temple's third level.
