Your guide will introduce you to the extraordinary story of Queen Hatshepsut, one of Egypt’s most remarkable rulers who adopted the image of a male pharaoh.

  Colossi of Memnon

  Pause for photos at the Colossi of Memnon, two imposing statues that once guarded the grand mortuary temple of Amenhotep III. These ancient stone sentinels rise over 18 meters high and are among the few surviving remnants of a vast and now-vanished temple complex. They remain a powerful symbol of ancient Egyptian grandeur.

At the rear of the site, you’ll find the sacred lake once used by priests for ceremonial purification.
