The Itinerary :
The Valley of the Kings, the mortuary temple of queen Hatshbsut and the colossi of Memnon are all located on the West side of Luxor.
The tour to those sites is quite an experience. The great Pharaohs of the Golden age (New Kingdom) gave up the pyramid cult and stopped building the pyramids, and chose the barren desert on the west bank in Luxor. They hid their mummies and treasures in narrow long tunnels dug in the heart of the mountain.
This place is one of the most important archeological site known as the Valley of the Kings. Many royal tombs were uncovered but the greatest finding is king Tut tomb in 1922.All the tombs are beautifully colored. Your guide will explain the most important stories of the place with his recommendation of the best tombs to visit. Next, to complete the top attractions of the West bank in Luxor after the valley of kings, explore the mortuary temple of queen Hatshbsut.
The queen is famous for being the first female pharaoh of ancient Egypt. Your private guide will tell you the story of the divine birth of the queen and how she ascended the throne for 20 years. Look at the wall paintings and the beautiful design of the temple, which consists of three terraces. The third terrace was used as a monastery during the Christian era. Your guide will explain the history of the temple before giving you free time to explore the temple yourself and spend some time taking pictures of the highlights.
Finally, stop at the colossi of Memnon. The two statues represent king Amenhotep III in a seated position, they are made of sandstone. Learn with your private guide why the name of Memnon was given to the statues.
At the end of your wonderful tour, you will be dropped off at your hotel.
