#7673 Descending into an Ancient Tomb in Egypt

Give your inner archaeologist something to smile about with a visit to Egypt’s Valley of the Kings. With hundreds of tourists swarming the valley and lining up to enter the tombs, you won’t feel as though you’re breaking new ground, but the narrow tunnels and stuffy air may make you glad to have company. With a little imagination, you can picture yourself opening a sealed tomb and being the first modern person to see the treasures within. Even in a crowd, it’s a thrill to get inside and see the brilliant paintings that have endured for thousands of years. Just make sure to bring a bottle of water and something to fan yourself with.
