Stop 3

Head to the west of Luxor; it is known as the city of the dead and is the funerary complex of the Ancient Egyptians. You will visit the Valley of Kings, the ancient cemetery of the pharaohs of the new kingdom. Hidden in the mountains between the tow limestone hills of Gurna, the valley of kings holds 63 registered tombs, and three more have recently been discovered.

After touring the Valley of the Kings, you will be transported to the Queen Hatshipsut Temple, a three-story edifice built by the famous Queen Hatshipsut Temple to worship the sun deity Amon. The temple is notable for its spectacular construction and gorgeous hieroglyphic writings, which provide insight into ancient Egyptian society and beliefs.

Massive columns, towering obelisks, and detailed hieroglyphics will take you back to Egypt's golden age. Take a minute to appreciate the spiritual atmosphere and the architectural marvels that have endured the test of time.
