Valley of the Kings
The Valley of the Kings is a valley in Egypt where the kings and nobles of the New Kingdom (1555-1069 BC) carved their tombs into the rock. The valley has more than 60 tombs, some of which are famous for their riches and their curses. The most famous tomb is that of Tutankhamun, which was found untouched by Howard Carter in 1922. Other tombs are for kings such as Ramses II, Seti I, Thutmose III, and Hatshepsut.
Hatshepsut Temple
The temple of Hatshepsut is a mortuary temple built by Queen Hatshepsut in the New Kingdom era. The temple is one of the most impressive structures of the 18th dynasty and is considered to be one of the earliest large structures that survived. Hatshepsut Temple was built directly in front of the Nile River in 1473-1458 BC in the Deir el-Bahari area.
Colossi of Memnon
The Colossi of Memnon are monumental statues that once guarded the grand mortuary temple of Pharaoh Amenhotep III in the Luxor area of Egypt. Standing over 60 feet tall, these two towering figures, dating back to around 1350 BC, are all that remain of the temple's once-impressive structure. The statues are renowned not only for their immense size but also for the captivating legend associated with them. Ancient Greek travelers believed that at dawn, the statues emitted a mysterious singing sound, a natural phenomenon that added to their mystical allure and attracted visitors from far and wide.
Lunch Meal
Enjoy your lunch at a local restaurant in Luxor before heading to visit the East Bank of Luxor:
