The Valley of the Kings is a renowned ancient Egyptian burial site located on the west bank of the Nile River, near modern-day Luxor (ancient Thebes). For nearly 500 years, from the 18th to the 20th Dynasties of the New Kingdom (approximately 1539–1075 BCE), it served as the principal burial ground for pharaohs, powerful nobles, and some royal family members.
The Mortuary Temple of Hatshepsut, also known as Djeser-Djeseru ("Holy of Holies"), is an extraordinary ancient Egyptian temple located at Deir el-Bahari, on the west bank of the Nile River near Luxor. Built for Pharaoh Hatshepsut, one of the most successful female rulers of ancient Egypt (18th Dynasty), it's renowned for its unique design
The Colossi of Memnon are two colossal stone statues of Pharaoh Amenhotep III (18th Dynasty) that stand majestically on the west bank of the Nile River, near modern-day Luxor. Each statue, carved from a single block of quartzite sandstone, rises about 18 meters (60 feet) high and weighs an estimated 720 tons.
The Karnak Temple Complex, located on the east bank of the Nile in Luxor, is not a single temple but a sprawling "city of temples" that represents one of the largest ancient religious sites in the world. Its construction and expansion spanned over 1,500 years, from the Middle Kingdom to the Ptolemaic era, with numerous pharaohs contributing to its grandeur.
The Temple of Horus at Edfu is one of the most remarkably well-preserved ancient Egyptian temples, offering an unparalleled glimpse into Ptolemaic-era religious architecture and practices. Located on the west bank of the Nile in the city of Edfu, it was dedicated to the falcon-headed god Horus, often identified with the Greek god Apollo, hence the ancient Greek name for the city, Apollonopolis Magna.
The Temple of Kom Ombo is a unique ancient Egyptian temple located on a high promontory overlooking the Nile River, north of Aswan. What makes it particularly unusual is its "double" design, with two perfectly symmetrical sections, each dedicated to a different deity.
The Aswan High Dam is a massive embankment dam built across the Nile River in Aswan, Egypt, between 1960 and 1970. It was a monumental engineering feat designed to revolutionize Egypt's relationship with the Nile.
The Unfinished Obelisk is a colossal, incomplete ancient Egyptian obelisk located in the northern quarry of Aswan, Egypt. Had it been completed, it would have been the largest ancient obelisk ever carved, estimated to be about 42 meters (137 feet) tall and weigh nearly 1,200 tons.
The Temple of Philae is a stunning ancient Egyptian temple complex dedicated primarily to the goddess Isis, situated on Agilkia Island near Aswan. It's renowned for its beautiful setting and its remarkable state of preservation, which is largely due to an extraordinary international effort.
