Tutankhamun tomb: Human breath wreaks havoc in Egypt

The latest new for Egypt to make the main page of the BBC website is again not good news but its nothing really new. http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-middle-east-21089027

For years anyone that knows anything about Egypt and the fabulous tombs of the Valleys of the Kings and Valley of the Queens, news that human breath was affecting the pigmentation in the Tomb of  Tutankhamun and may cause it to close is nothing new. Stories about this have been reported regularly stating that due to humidity levels increasing the tombs may have to be closed in order to stop the fantastic rich colours from disappearing.

Will anything be done, er probably not. At a time when the country is crying out for more tourists telling potential visitors that they cant visit one of the top 5 attractions (V|alley of the Kings) and view the Tutankhamun tomb would seriously not help. With all Nile Cruise excursions visiting the Valley of the Kings as well as the normal Classical Tours any closures will make these holidays a lot less appealing.

So although its unlikely that we will see any closures soon it might be a good idea to think about that Luxury Nile Cruise or Classical Tour Holiday sooner so that you can enjoy all of Egypt's fantastic historical treasures before they disappear.
