Queen Hatshepsut Temple:
The Temple of Hatshepsut is an impressive architectural feat, dates back to the 18th Dynasty. The temple of Hatshepsut was built around 1478 BC which is located in Deir el-Bahari. Built for the powerful Queen Hatshepsut, it is a unique terraced structure that bears witness to her reign and her innovative art.
Prepare to be awestruck as you explore the intricate details and graceful symmetry that make this temple a true marvel of antiquity.
Valley of the Kings:
A funerary space from Ancient Egypt that housed the tombs of pharaohs and the Egyptian high nobility. A place linked to the Beyond, where you can contemplate the evolution and transformation of the ancient tombs of the Egyptian kings. Among its sacred corridors lie the monumental tombs of legendary pharaohs such as Ramses II and the iconic boy king
Tutankhamun.
These royal tombs were dug into the rock, hidden in a secluded place due to the need to keep them secret and protect them. In it, for the first time, the tombs where the king was buried were built independently of the funerary temples where the daily funerary cult was carried out.
Lunch will proceed at a Nile view restaurant. Then continue by heading to:
Colossi of Memnon:
These two enormous statues, which have defied time and erosion for more than 3400 years, reach 17 meters in height, and once stood in front of the pylons of the funerary temple of Amenhotep III, whose remains have been buried under the nearby farmland for centuries, until archaeological excavations of the site began in the 1970s.
