Valley of Kings & Hatshepsut Temple

Journey to the ancient city of the dead on Luxor's West Bank for a morning of extraordinary discoveries. Begin at the Valley of the Kings, where over 60 pharaohs were laid to rest in elaborately decorated underground tombs. Your Egyptologist guide leads you through three richly painted tombs, explaining the religious texts, mythological scenes, and burial rituals depicted on the walls. Continue to the breathtaking Temple of Hatshepsut at Deir el-Bahari, one of the most architecturally unique temples in Egypt. This terraced masterpiece is carved directly into the limestone cliffs and tells the story of Egypt's most powerful female pharaoh. Stop at the Colossi of Memnon, two massive stone statues that have guarded the entrance to the West Bank for over 3,400 years.
