Valley of the Kings is one of the most important archaeological sites in the world. The valley contains the tombs of the kings of the New Kingdom. The tombs were constructed between 1550 and 1070 when Luxor was the capital of ancient Egypt and The Valley was the site of the royal tombs. The experience of seeing the tombs from the inside will be unforgettable.

Hatshepsut (c.1473–1458 BC), the queen who became pharaoh, built a magnificent temple at Deir al-Bahari, on the west back of Luxor. It lies directly across the Nile from Karnak Temple, The temple consists of three levels each of which has a colonnade at its far end. On the uppermost level, an open courtyard lies just beyond the portico. Mummiform statues of Hatshepsut as Osiris, the god of the dead, lean against its pillars.
