Mike and I decided it would be far more adventurous to rent bikes and tour the Valley of the Kings and Queens. Due to some mechanical issues (to no surprise) we missed the Tombs of the Nobles, but were quite happy with our morning journey in heat pushing 100 degrees. Being independent travelers and not seeing as many tourists as we thought we might encounter throughout Egypt thus far, it was shocking to see the bus loads of tourists visiting the infamous valleys. Apparently the package deals are far more common, nor do too many think of biking through the Valley. As no cameras are allowed within the tombs, we cannot share the secrets within, you'll have to check out for yourself!
A small village that seems to blend in with the sand and the tombs. The Nile River is a beautiful stage for the Valley. A balloon ride over the Valley of the Kings at sunrise!
I managed to get a picture "away" from the crowds in the Valley of the Kings.
