Doubly impressive: there are spots you can visit in the vtour, that you cannot see in real life because they're outside the pedestrian walkway.

Did you catch the beheaded bound people depicted at ground level around what I assume is a stone coffin?

Tried to research what the meaning / story is for these figures. My best guess with 10 minute googling is that they represent defeated enemies.

I'm sure the guards there would encourage you have the privilege of a view from off the pedestrian walkway for a tip.

Actually, no. The guards (in the Valley anyway) take their jobs very seriously and have seen it all... you'll get unceremoniously removed for trying to break a rule.

While Egypt is generally loose in this regard, they are super strict about few things. Sharm Elsheikh's reef come to my mind.
