Valley of the Kings
The Valley of the Kings in Luxor, Egypt, is a historic burial ground located on the west bank of the Nile River. Renowned for its archaeological significance, this valley served as the final resting place for numerous pharaohs and nobles during the New Kingdom period of ancient Egypt. The tombs, hidden within the valley's rocky landscape, feature intricate architecture, including long corridors and burial chambers adorned with detailed carvings and paintings depicting religious rituals and scenes from the afterlife. Notable among the tombs is that of Tutankhamun, discovered in 1922 by Howard Carter and containing treasures now exhibited in the Egyptian Museum. Today, the Valley of the Kings is a popular tourist destination, offering visitors the opportunity to explore these well-preserved ancient burial sites.
Admission Included
Temple of Hatshepsut at Deir el Bahari
The Temple of Hatshepsut, situated on the west bank of the Nile near Luxor, Egypt, is an ancient mortuary temple commissioned by Queen Hatshepsut in the 15th century BCE. This architectural masterpiece is characterized by a series of terraces, colonnades, and courtyards that blend harmoniously with the natural landscape. The temple serves as a mortuary dedicated to the sun god Amun and features distinctive elements such as the colonnaded hall adorned with statues of the goddess Hathor. The three terraces house various structures, including chapels and shrines, with statues, reliefs, and inscriptions celebrating Hatshepsut's rule and Egypt's prosperity. Originally, two obelisks graced the entrance, and while one remains, the other is now in the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York. The Temple of Hatshepsut stands as a testament to ancient Egyptian architecture, innovation, and the grandeur of the New Kingdom period.
Admission Included
Colossi of Memnon
The Colossi of Memnon are two massive stone statues located on the west bank of the Nile River near Luxor, Egypt. Carved from quartzite sandstone, each statue stands about 18 meters (60 feet) tall and depicts the seated figure of Pharaoh Amenhotep III, hands resting on his knees. Originally guarding the entrance to Amenhotep III's mortuary temple, the statues have weathered centuries of history, including earthquakes and repairs. The northern colossus was known for producing mysterious sounds during the Roman period, contributing to their association with the mythical figure Memnon. Today, the Colossi of Memnon stand as imposing remnants of ancient Egyptian architecture and attract tourists fascinated by their colossal size and historical significance.
