Maybe due to the recent kidnapping of tourist in Egypt security has been up-ed a level. Not a good feelings to have so many policemen with machine guns surrounding you. Sign of insecurity but at least I know Egypt was really concern about tourist safety. 
Between the Main Entrance and entrances of Tombs, there were this kinda troller cars to ease our journey but there were extra tickets for it. It was like 10minutes wait and 2minutes ride better than none, lorrr! Everything in Egypt was about money so this passenger carts were no different. Some kwai lol who thought it was free, got screwed by the driver from money. 
Valley of the Kings is the place, where tombs were built for the Pharaohs and powerful nobles of the New Kingdom. There were 62 numbered royal and private tombs, ranging from a simple pit to a tomb with over 121 chambers and. Tombs are actually the new version pyramids. After their forefathers grave (The Pyramids) has been looted and looted again and again, New Pharaohs decided not to show off anymore so they hide their tombs instead. Pyramid and tomb are the same, they are both use for burial of pharaohs. The different is that, Pyramid is like wearing your 24karat diamond proudly in Chow Kit, while Tomb is like putting the 24Karat diamond inside your underwear. 
Valley of The Kings actually looks like an open desert from the top, I need to see the 3d replice below to understand what is inside it. I never read our itinerary before I came but from what I heard from LL, in the itinerary that s0ohai send us, its written Valley of The King is included. The phrase "is included" means what? Did it mean just the buggy car rides or Just 3 tombs or all the tombs? That's why LL bombarded s0ha with emails and annoyed her. 
These 3D replica of Valley of the Kings was found in the Tourist Info Centre. All pyramids and tombs have been looted before modern days, only one Pharoahs Tombs that was found untouched. Forgot his name, something like tut-tut-cha the “I, II or III”??? He wasn’t an important figure in Egypt history and his tomb was small but stuffs inside his tombs could fill more than a football field, imagine what could archeos find in bigger tombs and pyramids? The Tourists information for Valley of the Kings seems very informative but we weren’t given much time there. That's the bad part of following a tour or being in a group, I couldn’t do what I like but of cause in terms of fun, groupie tops it! 
0h! not again, no photo, no video. I hate this to the bone! If you wonder where had all those ancients theives gone? There were probally here among us! A place to keep cameras, dunno how much, I have no intention to find out. I hate it when they dont let tourist take pixs. Hey! We have paid for it la... 
This place was HOT. If Kwai Lols & Kwai Pohs also need to hide under shades, that was the sign of Really HO0000T!!! I was told, this is one of the hottest place in Egypt but it was nothing compare to the 50C Summer I just gone through in Dobye 
I wouldn’t go inside a coffin and to queue up to go inside a mega old coffin? Only in Egypt, only in Egypt! Death isn’t scary as long as you are prepared for it, Pharaohs started to prepare for their death as soon as they sat the throne. That’s why there are lotta unfinished tombs and pyramids because some of this pharaohs couldn’t sit long enough on their throne. 
Nothing to see inside the tombs, no treasure, no mummies and not even statues. Only thing left were drawings and crafting on the walls but ordinary folks like us, if will be hard for us to understand thus apperciate those crafting inside. It was a written history of ancient egypt but I dont undestand anything lorrr and Ali didnt follow us inside but still worth a look since its thousandsssssssssss years old mah! 
One thing missing from this super hot place was an official canteen, how can? This canteen could have been the Top Sales in Egypt but why no canteen? Maybe due to Puasa month lorrr. Ali was our 3rd guide in Egypt so far. His presentation was short, precise and clear but unlike muhd. Ali didn’t show us the best position to take pixs maybe because VOTK has nothing to photo except inside all those tombs where cameras are prohibited.
We dwelled into 3tombs, one was really steep but only about 15mins walked. Ali did a "Tour Guide" too under this superhot situation, he managed to convince Cher & Lian to buy his 50LE per set postcard of the Tombs Interiors. Ali said his postcards was Genuine and those sold by kids are false. Tour Guide... wow!!!
