Highlights
Travel back to the past and discover the eternal capital of ancient Egypt during the New Kingdom, approximately 1550 - 1050 B.C.. Known as the home of the god Amun, associated with Egyptian royalty, it was the draw for many pharaohs to choose this site for their eternal resting place. Thus, the Valley Of The Kings was borne. In this adventure, you will see the remarkable sites on the West Bank of the Nile River including the Valley of the Kings, the female pharaoh Hatshepsut's Funerary Temple and the Colossi of Memnon.
Itinerary
Valley of the Kings
1 hours 30 minsAdmission Ticket IncludedOur guide will pick you up from your Luxor hotel wherein you will travel, like royalty before you to the West Bank of the Nile. Walk where the kings and queens before you did, in the Valley of the Kings. This area, besides being home to their god Amum, was mostly inaccessible by tomb robbers and far easier to protect and so was the choice spot for royalty to be entombed. The royal necropolis has 62 royal tombs cut into the limestone following a similar pattern of three corridors, an antechamber, and a sunken sarcophagus chamber. It has many richly decorated tombs showing the afterlife scenes.Temple of Hatshepsut at Deir el Bahari
2 hoursAdmission Ticket IncludedYour adventure continues as we move to discover the mortuary Temple of Queen Hatshepsut, the female pharaoh, with its unique design in three terraces merging with the sheer limestone cliffs of the mountain as if nature herself had built it. It's walls are richly decorated with scenes depicting the commercial expedition to Punt, the Queen's divine birth and transportation of her two obelisks from the Aswan granite quarry to the Karnak Temple.Colossi of Memnon
2 hours 30 minsAdmission Ticket IncludedAfter your time with the Queen, we will move to experience the Colossi of Memnon; a massive pair of statues of Amenhotep III which alone have survived from his funerary temple that disappeared due to flooding. All traces of it sadly have washed away because it sat on the floodplain of the Nile so the annual inundation water eroded it away over the centuries. The Colossi of Memmon are all that are left to tantalize our imagination of the splendor and magnitude his funerary temple must have been. From here, we will safely take you back to your area hotel where you can reflect on your trip through time with the royals.
