Then to the ticket office to see what is open and the prices. Student prices are around 50% of this.
Onwards towards Queens Valley. In the angle between the main road and that to Deir el-Medina there had been a few houses built, at least one of which had a tomb behind as part of the accommodation. Helen used to buy her scarves here. Yesterday the police came in and bulldozed the area, :-(
At QV the price list, and then a picture of a temple on the low hills beyond the car park. I was standing outside the ticket office at the beginning of the souk. A tourist coach at the bottom of the picture should give some idea of scale.
The menu appears fairly priced, but I only had a juice. Tayeeb says that the food is fresh - he will not go near anything from a freezer. This restaurant probably deserves a visit - I avoided it earlier in the year because there were two coaches of Russians from Hurghada there at the time. The bathrooms on the terrace had everything except towels, and who needs a towel in the Egyptian sunshine?
