Jordan Egypt Tour Day 11 (20230505): The Valley of the Kings and the Temple of Hab are still unknown due to daylight saving time, and my phone shows the local time later than the real time

Jordan Egypt Tour Day 11 (20230505): Valley of the Kings and Temple of Hab

For unknown reasons, the local time displayed on my phone was an hour later than the real time, so that today's trip left late. The consequences were serious, that is, I was forced to visit the city of Hab [in tears] against the scorching midday sun.

Today's highlight is Velley of kings. In addition, I paid to enter the tomb of Seti I, plus three tombs of the big ticket package, and later entered another tomb, for a total of five. Friends should learn my lesson and check whether the local time displayed on the mobile phone is correct to avoid mistakes.

Visiting the Valley of the Kings is recommended to choose according to your hobbies, as many tombs are open, but the big ticket can only see three. Looking up a lot of guides is recommended to look at the following three, a total of reference: KV6 (Tomb of Ramses IX), KV11 (Tomb of Ramses III), KV14 (Tausert/Setnakht) These three tombs are the most worth seeing.

The tomb of Setti I costs 1,000 Egyptian pounds, about 230 yuan, which you can decide according to your budget.

Another strong promotion is the Habu City, which is worth seeing, the main frescoes depict how powerful Ramses II was and how he deterred invaders from all sides. Among them are depictions of binding captives, cutting hands, cutting tongues, cutting jj [fear].

Figure 14: The Hab City is characterized by a deep inscription that allows me to lower my hand. The tour guide said that Ramses II did this in order to go down in history, because if his opponents wanted to erase his mark, it would be tantamount to flattening the wall~ This is almost impossible.

In addition, it is recommended that friends who travel independently ask for a better tour guide, because the amount of information about the mural is really too large, and it is lonely to see it casually.

Another is to try to get up early and leave for the Valley of the Kings, one is cool (the desert climate can reach 40 degrees high temperature at noon), and the other is to avoid the tour group crowd, and the appreciation effect is better.
