  Temple of Hatshepsut at Deir el Bahari

It was built of limestone, not sandstone like most of the other funerary temples of the New Kingdom period. Temple of Hatshepsut It is thought that Senimut, the genius architect who built this Temple, found inspiration in his design by the plan of the neighboring mortuary, Temple of the 12th Dynasty King, Neb-Hept-Re. The Temple was built to commemorate the achievements of the great Queen Hatshepsut (18th Dynasty), and as a funerary Temple for her, as well as a sanctuary of the god, Amon Ra.

  Valley of the Kings

  The Valley of the Kings is an astounding location where 62 Pharaohs are buried. This royal cemetery is located on Luxor's west bank, down the only entrance, a long narrow winding path. This was a secret place, where sentries guarded the entrance, as well as the tops of the hills to discourage tomb robbers. In the past, they had plundered all royal tombs, including the treasures of the pyramids! Some thefts were probably carefully planned, but others were spur of the moment, as when an earlier tomb was accidentally discovered while cutting a new one and workmen took advantage of the opportunity. This may have happened when KV 46 was found during the cutting of KV 4 or KV 3 nearby. The tombs in the Valley range from a simple pit (e.g. KV 54), to a tomb with over 121 chambers and corridors ( KV 5). light lunch koshry or flafel sandwitch

  Colossi of Memnon

  Dating back to the New Kingdom, the 18th Dynasty, during the reign of Amenhotep III, The Colossi of Memnon is a mortuary temple located in Thebes. The mortuary temple of the pharaoh is guarded by two, 20-meter-high statues that were severely damaged during a 27 BC earthquake. The temple has now been destroyed completely and all that remains is the 23 meters high statue of Amenhotep III which weighs around a thousand ton. The statues, even after such destruction by natural and manly action, seem to be an impressive piece. then back to hotel
