Temple of Hatshepsut

There is one word that sums up the day in the Valley of the Kings and Hatshepsuts Temple and that word is hot. When you see me being videotaped here, I'm not very talkative.

We're literally right around the corner from the Valley of the Kings. You can even see the pyramid shaped hill in the background of the temple.

I also take a good shot of the Nile River Valley at the end of the video. It gives you a great perspective on how the Nile acts as a vein of fertility in the region. On each side of the Nile there is a small green belt and beyond that there is only desert.

So the quote by Herodotus that " Egypt is truly a gift of the Nile", could not be more appropriate.
