If you gaze port side, you will notice that the cliffs are formed in such a way as to appear like the Egyptian hieroglyph for akhet, which means horizon.

Look.. There is the border stela which reads...

"...the heiress, great in the palace, fair of face, adorned with the double plumes,mistress of happiness, endowed with favors, at hearing whose voice the King rejoices, the chief wife of the King, his beloved, the Lady of the Two Lands, Nefer-nefru-aten Nefertiti..."

Soon you shall be meet the young Prince Tutankhaten, son of King Akhenaten, servant of the Aten.. He will take you out into the desert for a royal chariot ride. Then, the Prince shall escort you to see his father's chief wife, Queen Nefertiti.

It is said the Queen is the most beautiful woman in all the world. Even her name, Nefer-Nefru-Aten Nefertiti means, "beautiful is the beauty of Aten, perfect one of Aten's perfection, the beautiful woman has come!"

If you wish to meet the Queen, you must first hold an Egyptian Passport, and reserve yourself a chariot. The sun can become excessively strong here, so be sure to bring some sunblock.

While in AkhetAten, you also might want to read the Amarna letters. It is said that ever since the King destroyed Amen's statues, moved the capital from Thebes, and elevated the cult of the sun disc, there has been political unrest in Egypt.

Sun too hot for you? After your visit with the Queen, you might wish to attend the Wet T-unic Contest. Your friendly ancient Egyptian travel agency has imported more than enough water to insure a splashing good time. To be a contestant, simply sign the roster. If you prefer to judge, you must first sign in at the Judges' Chambers.

Enjoy your stay in sunny AkhetAten, Horizon of the Sun-disc.
