Itinerary and highlights
The Valley of the Kings is a famous archaeological site located on the west bank of the Nile River near the city of Luxor, in modern-day Egypt. It served as the burial place for many pharaohs and powerful nobles of the New Kingdom period (approximately 1550-1070 BCE) of ancient Egypt.
The valley was chosen as the burial site for royalty because it was hidden and well-protected, offering a level of security for the tombs. The pharaohs believed that by constructing their tombs in the isolated valley, they would safeguard their treasures and ensure their journey to the afterlife.
The Hatshepsut Temple, also known as the Temple of Hatshepsut or the Mortuary Temple of Hatshepsut, is an ancient Egyptian temple located on the west bank of the Nile River near the Valley of the Kings in modern-day Luxor, Egypt. It is one of the most remarkable and well-preserved temples in Egypt.
The Colossi of Memnon are two massive stone statues located on the western bank of the Nile River near the city of Luxor, Egypt. They are among the most famous ancient Egyptian monuments and have been attracting visitors for centuries.
The Karnak Temple Complex, commonly referred to as Karnak Temple, is a vast ancient Egyptian temple complex located in the city of Luxor, on the east bank of the Nile River in Egypt. It is one of the largest religious complexes in the world and was dedicated primarily to the worship of the god Amun-Ra, along with several other deities.
