A bit of disappointment for me was the Valley of the Kings located in the Theban hills. This ancient burial grounds housed for 500 years (from the 16th to 11th century BC)the tombs for kings and powerful nobles of Egypt.
The mausoleum like structures where the mummies were kept are massive but not impressive. Nevertheless, inside the tombs, the walls decorated with scenes from Egyptian mythology are exquisite, colorful, and interesting.
