The Valley of the Queens

The Valley of the Queens served as a necropolis for the wives and children of pharaohs during the 18th, 19th, and 20th dynasties. The valley was designed to honor and perpetuate the memory of the royal women and princesses. You will be amazed by the tomb of Queen Nefertari, where our specialized mausoleum tour reveals the most vibrant colors and intricate details that have survived for millennia.

Hatshepsut Temple

The Temple of Queen Hatshepsut was constructed during her reign (1479–1458 BC), showcasing her importance as one of Egypt's most accomplished pharaohs during the 18th dynasty. The magnificent design mirrors the status of women in ancient Egypt under the rule of Queen Hatshepsut when she donned the complete royal ensemble. Hatshepsut is known as the "Female Horus," as it highlights her bond with the goddess Hathor, who symbolizes feminine qualities like maternity and strength.

The Colossi of Memnon

The Colossi of Memnon are monumental statues that were built during the era around 1350 BC, under the rule of Pharaoh Amenhotep III. These figures show the pharaoh in a seated position with Queen Tiy, his mother at his side. Queen Tiy was not only Amenhotep III's consort but also a key advisor during his rule. These colossi symbolize the impact of women throughout the past of Egypt.

Lunch Meal

Your lunch will be served at a local restaurant in Luxor, then continue your feminist tour by visiting:

Karnak Temple

The majestic Karnak Temple is one of the best temples in ancient Egypt and is dedicated to the god Amun. Our dear feminist travelers can find monuments and hieroglyphs that demonstrate the role of women that were held in religious rites and societal positions of that period. The representations of influential women such as Queen Hatshepsut who governed as pharaoh from 1478 to 1458 BC are of particular interest.
