What makes Experience The best of Luxor on a Tour that includes the WestBank a unique experience ?
The Valley of the Kings is an ancient royal burial site located on the west bank of the Nile River in Luxor, Egypt. It served as the final resting place for pharaohs and nobles during the New Kingdom period, from the 16th to the 11th century BCE. The valley contains over 60 tombs, including those of famous pharaohs such as Tutankhamun, Ramesses II, and Seti I. The tombs are intricately decorated with wall paintings and hieroglyphics depicting scenes from the pharaohs' lives and their journey to the afterlife. The Valley of the Kings is considered one of the most important archaeological sites in Egypt and is a popular tourist attraction. However, to preserve the tombs, only a limited number of them are open to visitors at any given time, and photography is typically not allowed inside.
The Colossi of Memnon are two colossal stone statues of Pharaoh Amenhotep III, who ruled the Eighteenth Dynasty (1550-1292 BC). Located in the Theban necropolis, the statues are about 20 meters high and represent a seated Amenhotep III. It is believed that the statue was built to commemorate the achievements of the pharaoh during his long reign. The statues are made of quartzite sandstone and have an inscription on their bases. The inscriptions clearly provide clues to the identity of the pharaoh and the purpose of the statues, but the inscriptions have been damaged over the centuries by weather, erosion, and vandalism. The Colossus of Memnon has been the subject of much speculation, with some claiming that they had supernatural powers. However, despite its enigmatic nature, it remains a testament to the greatness and accomplishments of Amenhotep III, who was one of the most powerful pharaohs in the history of Egypt.
The Temple of Hatshepsut, also known as the Temple of Deir el-Bahri, is a significant ancient temple situated on the west bank of the Nile River in Luxor, Egypt. It was constructed during the 15th century BCE in honor of Queen Hatshepsut, one of the few female pharaohs in ancient Egypt. The temple is renowned for its unique and impressive architecture, which includes terraces and colonnaded halls built into the cliffs that overlook the Nile. Due to its remarkable preservation, the Temple of Hatshepsut is considered one of the most impressive and well-preserved temples in Egypt, and it was designated a UNESCO World Heritage site in 1979.
