Valle Delle Regine
Conclude your day tour with a visit to the Valley of the Queens, a historic burial site for the wives of Pharaohs in ancient times.

The valley, located near the renowned Valley of the Kings on the west bank of the Nile across from Thebes (modern Luxor), was chosen for its isolation and proximity to the capital, making it an essential site for the mortuary rituals and offerings dedicated to the deceased nobility
