Valley of the Kings
Kings Valley In 1979 UNESCO designated the valley of the kings a part of the World Heritage site of ancient Thebes, including Luxor, the Valley of the Queens, and the complex of Karnak. The site of royal burials since around 2100 BC, the pharaohs of the New Kingdom (1550–1069 BC) chose this isolated valley to make them tombs. One of the reasons they choose this valley on the west bank of Luxor ” the pyramid-shaped mountain”, in the center of the mountain of the west bank, so they will not waste time or spend money building a pyramid. The Valley of the Kings has 64 tombs, Just 24 Royal Tombs. Then we move on to visit the Temple of Queen Hatshepsut.
Hatshepsut temple
Hatshepsut The Woman Who Was Pharaoh, was the daughter of Thutmosis I. She ruled Egypt for about 23 years during the 18th Dynasty (approximately 1490-1469 B.C). She built a very beautiful temple on the west bank of Luxor with limestone and dedicated it to the God Amoun-Ra. The temple has three floors, the third floor carved on the mountain as a holly of the hollies of Amoun-Ra. Then we will stop to visit the colossi of Memnon.
Colossi of Memnon
Two massive statues of quartzite sandstone represent king Amenhotep III, who ruled Egypt during the 18th Dynasty. The statues are high about 15 m. The Colossi was at the entrance to Amenhotep’s memorial temple which was destroyed by an earthquake in ancient times. Then we will stop to relax to eat lunch and taste the Egyptian food in a local restaurant.
Karnak temple
The ancient Egyptian name of the temple was Ipet-isu—or “most select of places”—the ancient Egyptians, over 2,000 years built the complex of Karnak from the middle kingdom to the Greek-Roman period. It is the largest religious center ever built, about 200 acres (1.5 km by 0.8 km), and was a place of pilgrimage for nearly 2,000 years, dedicated to the Theban triad of Amun, Mut, and Khonsu.
The Hypostyle Hall, one of the most interesting things we will visit about 54,000 square feet continue 134 columns, is still the largest room of any religious building in the world. After finishing the tour in Karnak we will drive to the Temple of Luxor. When the tour finish you will transfer to the cruise at the port of Safaga.
