Overview

Luxor, the capital of ancient Egypt (Thebes), which contains a third of the world’s antiquities, contains the Karnak Temples, the largest religious complexes for the worship of Amun Ra, the god of the sun, his wife, and their son Khonsu, the god of the moon to the ancient Egyptians.
There is the temple of Queen Hatshepsut, the most famous queen who ruled Egypt, and her temple is unique in terms of design.

What to expect

  1. Colossi of Memnon
    15m · Admission ticket included
    The Colossi of Memnon are two enormous statues of 18th Dynasty Pharaoh Amenhotep III originally designed to guard his mortuary temple, located on the western bank of the Nile, opposite Luxor.
  2. Valley of the Kings
    2h · Admission ticket not included
    The rulers of the Eighteenth, Nineteenth, and Twentieth Dynasties of Egypt’s prosperous New Kingdom (c.1550–1069 BC) were buried in a desolate dry river valley across the river from the ancient city of Thebes (modern Luxor), hence its modern name of the Valley of the Kings. This moniker is not entirely accurate, however, since some members of the royal family aside from the king were buried here as well, as were a few non-royal, albeit very high-ranking, individuals. The Valley of the Kings is divided into the East and West Valleys. The eastern is by far the more iconic of the two, as the western valley contains only a handful of tombs. In all, the Valley of the Kings includes over sixty tombs and an additional twenty unfinished ones that are little more than pits.
  3. Temple of Hatshepsut
    1h · Admission ticket not included
    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 main sanctuary of the god Amun. Hatshepsut’s temple, Djeser-djeseru “the Holy of Holies” was designed by the chief steward of Amun, Senenmut.
  4. Temple of Medinat Habu
    1h · Admission ticket not included
    The Temple of Ramesses III at Medinet Habu was an important New Kingdom period temple structure in the West Bank of Luxor in Egypt.
  5. Valley of the Artisans (Deir el-Medina)
    1h · Admission ticket not included
    Deir el-Medina, or Dayr al-Madīnah, is an ancient Egyptian workmen's village which was home to the artisans who worked on the tombs in the Valley of the Kings during the 18th to 20th Dynasties .
  6. Valle Delle Regine
    1h · Admission ticket not included
    The Valley of the Queens is a site in Egypt, where the wives of pharaohs were buried in ancient times. It was known then as Ta-Set-Neferu, meaning "the place of beauty". It was most famous for being the burial site of many wives of Pharaohs.
