Valley of the Kings
Your Egyptologist guide will meet you at your accommodation to start your journey.

You can choose to explore both the East and West banks of the Nile or focus on just one side, depending on your preferences. West Bank Your tour starts on the West Bank, which is known as the City of the Dead, where ancient pharaohs were buried in elaborate tombs and temples. First, you'll visit the Valley of the Kings, one of Egypt's most famous archaeological sites. This valley is home to notable pharaohs, including Ramesses III, Ramesses VI, and Merenptah. These tombs, carved into the rock, have preserved the stories of ancient rulers for thousands of years.
Temple of Hatshepsut at Deir el Bahari
Next, you’ll head to the magnificent Temple of Queen Hatshepsut, an amazing structure built in honor of Egypt’s only female pharaoh. Hatshepsut reigned for 20 years, bringing prosperity and peace to Egypt. The temple, with its stunning terraces rising against the cliffs of Deir el-Bahari, showcases incredible ancient Egyptian architecture.
Colossi of Memnon
