Summary

[edit]
Description
English: Valley of the Kings, Southern Egypt October 1988
Arid landforms comprise much of this nearly vertical view of a portion of the Nile River. These desert landforms include eroded valleys and wadis (watercourses). The fertile and highly productive green Nile River Valley stands out in marked contrast to the tan desert landscape on either side. This part of the Nile Valley varies in width from 4 to 9 miles (6 to 14 kilometers). Near the southern edge of this photograph, the city of Luxor can be ascertained along the eastern bank of the Nile. The narrow, linear runways of the airport are visible on the edge of the desert east of the city. This particular bend in the Nile River is the home of many historical points of interest-Valley of the Kings, Valley of the Queens, Temple of Luxor, Tomb of Tutankhamen, and Necropolis of Thebes.
Italiano: Valle dei Re, Egitto Meridionale, Ottobre 1988

La maggior parte di questa fotografia, ripresa circa sulla verticale di una parte del fiume Nilo, comprende territori desertici. Questo territorio desertico include valli erose e torrenti stagionali. La verde Valle sulla riva del Nilo, fertile e molto produttiva si estende in un marcato contrasto con il panorama desertico da entrambe le rive. Questa parte della Valle del Nilo ha una larghezza che varia da 6 a 14 chilometri (4 a 6 miglia). Si può riconoscere la città di Luxor, vicino al bordo meridionale di questa fotografia, lungo la riva orientale del Nilo. A Est della città, sul bordo del deserto, sono visibili le strette e diritte piste di atterraggio dell'aeroporto. Questa particolare fascia della riva del Nilo è sede di molti punti di interesse storico come la Valle dei Re, la Valle della Regine, il Tempio di Luxor, la tomba di Tutankhamen e l'antico cimitero di Tebe.
