Valley of the Kings
The Valley of the Kings, situated on the western bank of the Nile River and directly across from modern-day Luxor City, is a prominent archaeological site within the heart of the Theban Necropolis. This remarkable location comprises two distinct valleys, each holding a wealth of historical treasures. Your journey through this ancient landscape begins with a two-hour exploration of the Valley of the Kings, where pharaohs of Egypt's past found their final resting places. These royal tombs, hidden deep within the rocky terrain, are adorned with intricate hieroglyphics and stunning artwork, offering a glimpse into the rich history and beliefs of the time.
Temple of Hatshepsut at Deir el Bahari
Next, you'll visit the awe-inspiring Temple of Hatshepsut at Deir el Bahari, a structure that rises an impressive 97 feet (30 meters) above the ground. This temple's distinctive design is a testament to the choice of its location, nestled within the valley basin of Deir el-Bahari and surrounded by imposing cliffs. It was here, around 2050 BC, that Mentuhotep II, the founder of the Middle Kingdom, built his sloping, terrace-shaped mortuary temple.
Valle Delle Regine
Continuing your journey, you'll explore the Valley of the Queens, known in ancient times as Ta-Set-Neferu, which translates to "the place of beauty." This sacred site served as the burial ground for the esteemed wives of pharaohs, a place where their legacies live on. While pharaohs themselves found their eternal rest in the nearby Valley of the Kings, their queens were laid to rest here.
