- The
Queen for whom the sun shines : Private Tour of Queen
Neferatri's Tomb
We rise very early in the morning to be able to secure entry to
the recently restored tomb of her Majesty Queen Nefertari, wife
of the mighty Pharaoh Ramses the Great , limited to the first 100
visitors.
Long before Cleopatra humbled the ruler of Rome, an Egyptian queen
held power over the heart and soul of Ramses, Egypt's greatest pharaoh.
In the 12th century BC, a brokenhearted Ramses built a grand funerary
tomb for Queen Nefertari, "the Beautiful one," in the Valley of
the Queens. It's been exquisitely restored with the aid of an American
endowment, and is among the rarest sights in all Egypt: the only
great tomb ever built by a pharaoh for his late queen. Artistically,
it is the closest thing you could ever come to see the original
Ancient Egyptian art in all of its glory and finesse.
Because of its fragile nature, only a limited number of visitors
are allowed entry each day. We are the only company to include a
visit to Nefertari's tomb in our daily program. Because of the limited
access we must rise early for our visit, appropriate as Ramses named
Nefertari "the one for whom the sun shines."

Greetings
Omar!
I
actually read your lovely note while in Petra, but was scooting out
the door with no time to reply. (Which sums up the whirlwind of our
two week holiday) :-) And then I flew home with the headcold that
wouldn't end, so it's taken a bit longer to catch up than I expected.
What
an incredible trip it was! It all went by in such a blur. Though I
think some of that was due to many nights of little sleep :-) I think
next time I'm going to remember that trying to see 2 months worth
of sites in 2 weeks isn't a wise idea.
We've
fallen in love with Istanbul, and the Arena Hotel. The dining staff
in the hotel restaurant were one of the fondest memories if that city.
Egypt
left us with a feeling of awe. So much history, so much to see, such
friendly people we met. Sakkara Travel was above and beyond expectations.
All of the service was wonderful, as were all of our reps, drivers
and guides. Our Reps in Cairo and Aswan (Ahmed and Wahleed) were beyond
fabulous, and we're specially going to miss them and our guide Maha
and driver Mohammed as well. The whole crew just seamlessly sailed
us thru everything, so we never needed to have a moments worry or
problem. I wish my life was that carefree at home!
Jordan
was such a change from Egypt, and our driver there, Nahzee (never
got the right spelling), really made our stay there perfect. He was
a real delight. We had a little confusion with our guide in Petra,
since I wasn't aware he was only there for 3 hours and just wasn't
ready for lunch at 10:30, but he ended up waiting for us to come back
down from the rest of the hike thru Petra anyway, and we found him
again in the restaurant eventually. So it all worked out in the end.
So
we're back home and sorting thru our 4200+ photos now. That should
keep us busy for the next year or two. :-)
Thank
you for all your effort to ensure our trip was one we'd always remember.
This was certainly the trip of a lifetime, and to add extra sweetness,
all of our friends and family are jealous of the great time we had.
We couldn't have done it without you!

Hi Omar,
How are you? It is with great pleasure that we reminisce our Egyptian
trip. How can one not, with your courteous service and impeccable
planning? We tell our family/friends that if they ever want to travel
anywhere in the world they must do it with "Travel in Style."
They ask for the reasons. We say, "You have to experience the
personal attention, thorough knowledge of the guides and prompt service
to know why you excel in travel planning.

Nefertiti
Turns Egypt Upside Down!!
The
first bloodless religious revolution against the established church
in Ancient Egypt
And the seat of power that rested with the priests in Karnak .
Nefertiti conducts the religious ceremony at the temple wearing only
a see-through cloak and thong
!
Nefertiti
Turns Egypt Upside Down!! 1350 BC - Queen Nefertiti is reported to
have led her Egyptian subjects on a wild spree of idol-smashing, temple-destruction,
and forced migration, all part of a campaign of religious reformation.
In Egypt a temple painting of a well-endowed Nefertiti in a chariot,
wearing only a see-through cloak and thong-style panties, may explain
why it was easy for Egyptian to follow her to the end of the Earth.
"From
now on, there will be only one Deity, and that Deity is Aten, the
Sun Disc," she has commanded.
Reliable
sources in the Nile Valley report that all temples to gods other than
Aten have been closed, and that a hefty fine will be imposed on anyone
caught with an outlawed statuette.
Idols
are to be smashed immediately, and the shards turned over to the priests
of Aten.
"The
capital of Egypt will now be at Tel El Amarna," reads a decree widely
circulated in cuneiform on clay tablets.
"All priests are to settle within one hour's journey of the new Temple
to Aten. All bidders on public works contracts will likewise have
their head offices within the same specified distance."
Egyptian
leaders in exile have disputed the motives behind the upheaval. "It's
just a ploy to concentrate power and wealth in her hands and those
of her husband, Ikhnaton," stated one defrocked priest.
"Everybody knows that Nefertiti has risen to her position on qualities
that have nothing to do with religion.
She
isn't called Incarnation of Beauty for nothing," he added, referring
to the literal meaning of her name. The source asked not to be identified,
fearing reprisals. Tel El Amarna, Nile Valley, 2004 - from Paul Glassman,
special correspondent "Wow," commented Joe Shiner, an agro-businesman
from Des Moines, as he toured the main temple at Tel El Amarna. "It's
one thing to hear that Nefertiti was a real beauty. But it's quite
another to visit in person and learn the real story." "Until I came
here, I didn't know that she was behind the idea of having only one
god-even before the Hebrews and Christians and followers of Mohammed.
"And
now that I see her picture, I can understand why people followed her.
This is not what I expected . . . not at all!" Mr. Shiner gestured
as he spoke to a temple painting of a well-endowed Nefertiti in a
chariot, wearing only a see-through cloak and thong-style panties.
"If
she was my queen, I'd follow her to the end of the . . . "
Mr. Shiner's comments were interrupted by the approach of his wife.
