Queen Hatshepsut ruled 21 years.
Queen Hatshepsut was the only female egyptian that ruled. It had an impressive setting. The kings of ancient times were to be the image of gods on earth, and male, so she told the high priests that after she was born, the gods changed her nature into that of a male. Apparently that was good enough for them, they believed her. She ruled 21 years.

I much prefer donkeys to camels!
Our donkey ride was a lot of fun, much nicer than the camel ride. Slower, closer to the ground, bumpy, but all around pleasant. With the camel, it was exciting because it was more exotic, but I was so thankful to get off of my camel, I considered kissing the sand!
