Question 2

What to expect During this tour?

Accepted Answer

Take a Valley of the Kings tour and explore the Temple of Queen Hatshepsut including a short stop at Colossi of Memnon on this half day tour. Explore the inner rock-cut chambers and tunnels. Walk through colorful, hieroglyph-covered corridors and see painted chambers that once contained the remains of ancient Egypt’s rulers. For an additional cost you can enter the tomb of King Tutankamon. Next, drive to the Temple of Hatshepsut, a vision of geometrical colonnades hewn into a cliffside. Learn about the temple’s history and life of Queen Hatshepsut, Egypt’s first female ruler. Then, stop for photos at the Colossi of Memnon: two towering statues of the Pharaoh Amenhotep III, that once stood at his now long-gone funerary temple. Hear the stories and legends of the statues, and inspect the Roman-era graffiti engraved in the stone. Before your tour ends, perhaps take the opportunity to visit an alabaster factory and, if you wish, purchase some hand-cut pieces as souvenirs.
