  Valley of the Kings

  Continue to the legendary Valley of the Kings, one of the world's most remarkable archaeological sites and the royal burial ground of Egypt's New Kingdom pharaohs. Hidden among the barren limestone hills on Luxor's West Bank, this UNESCO World Heritage Site was used for nearly 500 years, from the 16th to the 11th century BC. Explore three beautifully decorated royal tombs (included with the standard entrance ticket), where vibrant wall paintings and intricate hieroglyphics reveal ancient Egyptian beliefs about the afterlife. The valley is home to more than 60 tombs, including those of Tutankhamun, Ramses III, Ramses IV, Ramses VI, Merneptah, Siptah, Tuthmosis III, Amenhotep III, and Tausert & Setnakht. Please note that the tombs of Tutankhamun, Seti I, and Ramses V & VI may require separate entrance tickets.

  Temple of Hatshepsut at Deir el Bahari

  Set out for one of Egypt's most breathtaking monuments — the mortuary temple of Queen Hatshepsut, carved into the golden cliffs of the Theban Mountains. As one of history's few female pharaohs, Hatshepsut built this temple as a lasting tribute to her extraordinary reign. Marvel at its striking three-tiered design, where colonnaded terraces rise in perfect harmony with the surrounding limestone cliffs — a masterpiece of ancient engineering that still feels remarkably modern today. Walk through the elegant colonnades and admire the finely preserved wall reliefs, which vividly depict scenes from Hatshepsut's rule, including her celebrated trading expedition to the mysterious Land of Punt. Surrounded by dramatic desert scenery, this temple offers not only architectural brilliance but also a powerful story of ambition, innovation, and legacy — making it an unmissable stop on your journey through ancient Thebes.
