The boat ride starts off like any other through the ancient canals of Xochimilco. There's laughter in the distance, floating mariachi music, and the occasional splash of an oar. But then your trajinera turns away from the main path. The air gets still. The water darkens. The laughter fades. You're no longer headed toward a party—you’re heading into a ghost story.

If tombs could talk, the Valley of the Kings would never stop whispering. Tucked into the arid cliffs west of the Nile in Luxor, this haunting necropolis has held the secrets of Egypt's most powerful pharaohs for over three thousand years. Here, in a sun-scorched landscape carved by time and devotion, lie the eternal homes of rulers who once believed they'd live forever.
