Marvel at the Temple of Queen Hatshepsut, one of Egypt’s most architecturally striking temples. Built into the limestone cliffs at Deir el-Bahari, this multi-level temple honors Egypt’s most successful female pharaoh. Learn about Hatshepsut’s reign, her bold trade expeditions to Punt, and her unique approach to kingship. The temple’s elegant design, terraces, and vivid reliefs make it a must-see.

3Colossi of Memnon
Pause for photos at the Colossi of Memnon, two massive statues standing nearly 18 meters high. These towering figures once guarded the entrance to the mortuary temple of Amenhotep III, now long vanished. Despite centuries of exposure, they remain iconic symbols of ancient Thebes and provide a fascinating glimpse into the scale of royal architecture.

4Temple of Karnak
Explore the awe-inspiring Temple of Karnak, one of the largest religious sites in the world. This vast complex was built and expanded over 2,000 years by successive pharaohs. Stroll through the towering Hypostyle Hall, with its 134 massive columns, and see highlights like the Sacred Lake, Obelisks of Hatshepsut and Thutmose I, and the Temple of Amun-Ra.

5Luxor Temple
End your day with a visit to the elegant Luxor Temple, a beautifully preserved site in the heart of the modern city. Unlike Karnak, Luxor Temple was primarily dedicated to the rejuvenation of kingship. Built by Amenhotep III and expanded by Ramses II, it features imposing statues, detailed carvings, and remnants of its Greco-Roman past, including a chapel built by Alexander the Great. It’s especially stunning in the late afternoon or evening when the lighting brings its carvings to life.
