The Valley of the Kings, located on the West Bank of the Nile, is one of Egypt’s most iconic archaeological sites. It served as the royal burial ground for pharaohs and powerful nobles of the New Kingdom (16th to 11th century BC). The valley is home to over 60 tombs, including the tomb of Tutankhamun, which was discovered nearly intact in 1922. The tombs are renowned for their elaborate wall paintings and hieroglyphs that depict scenes from the Egyptian Book of the Dead and the journey to the afterlife. Visitors can explore several tombs and marvel at the artistry and spiritual beliefs of ancient Egypt.

The mortuary temple of Queen Hatshepsut, also known as Deir el-Bahari, is a masterpiece of ancient Egyptian architecture. Nestled at the base of towering cliffs, the temple features three terraces connected by long ramps, with colonnades, statues, and reliefs that celebrate Hatshepsut’s reign. Hatshepsut was one of the few female pharaohs and her temple reflects her ambition and achievements. The temple’s reliefs depict her divine birth, her trading expeditions to the Land of Punt, and various aspects of her reign. The temple is a testament to her legacy and the architectural ingenuity of ancient Egypt.

The Valley of the Queens, located on the west bank of the Nile River near Luxor, Egypt, is a significant archaeological site that served as the burial place for the wives of pharaohs, as well as princes and princesses of the New Kingdom (1550-1070 BCE).

Deir el-Medina is the ancient village where the artisans and laborers who built the royal tombs in the Valley of the Kings and Queens lived.

The Temple of Medinet Habu is a significant and well-preserved mortuary temple located on the west bank of the Nile River, near Luxor, Egypt.
