What to expect
The Colossi of Memnon are two monumental statues representing Amenhotep III (1386-1353 BCE) of the 18th Dynasty of Egypt. They are located west of the modern city of Luxor and face east looking toward the Nile River. The statues depict the seated king on a throne ornamented with imagery of his mother, his wife, the god HAPY, and other symbolic engravings. The figures rise 60 ft (18 meters) high and weigh 720 tons each; both carved from single blocks of sandstone.
the Valley of the Kings—lies on the Nile's west bank near Luxor. During Egypt's New Kingdom (1539-1075 B.C.), the valley became a royal burial ground for pharaohs such as Tutankhamun, Seti I, and Ramses II, as well as queens, high priests, and other elites of the 18th, 19th, and 20th dynasties. Your guide will visit three royal tombs and will provide a detailed explaination about that royal cemetry
The funerary temple of Hatshepsut, also known as Djeser-Djeseru, is a temple located under the cliffs of Deir el-Bahari, near the Valley of the Kings in Egypt, Hatshepsut's temple is one of the world’s most striking architectural masterpieces
Perhaps the largest monumental complex ever built, Karnak is the most important site in Pharaonic Egypt. Enlarged by successive dynasties, its development has continued for over 1500 years and is today a collection of sanctuaries, pylons and obelisks, a true historical open-air stone archive.
