What's included in the package
Itinerary
Valley of the Kings
The Valley of the Kings served as the royal burial ground for pharaohs of the 18th, 19th, and 20th dynasties during Egypt’s New Kingdom. It is the resting place of legendary rulers such as Tutankhamun, Ramses II, Tuthmosis III, and Seti I, along with powerful nobles and members of the royal family. Renowned for its elaborate tombs, the site features intricate hieroglyphics and wall paintings that depict ancient rituals and beliefs about the afterlife, offering a glimpse into the grandeur of ancient Egyptian culture.
Admission Ticket Not IncludedTemple of Hatshepsut at Deir el Bahari
The Temple of Hatshepsut, at Deir el-Bahari, rivals the Pyramids as one of ancient Egypt’s greatest funerary monuments. Built into towering cliffs near the Valley of the Kings, it rises in three terraces connected by ramps, each featuring colonnades of square pillars. Commissioned by Hatshepsut, one of Egypt’s few female pharaohs, it was called the “Splendor of Splendors.” Earlier sections date back to Mentuhotep II (2050 BC). Although many sphinxes and statues are now missing, the temple’s grand design remains striking. Its cool interiors provide relief from the heat and showcase well-preserved reliefs and hieroglyphics in vivid colors.
Admission Ticket Not IncludedColossi of Memnon
The Colossi of Memnon, also known by its modern Arabic name Kom el-Hatan, is famously associated with its Roman name, derived from Memnon, a hero of the Trojan War. Memnon, the King of Ethiopia, is said to have traveled to Asia Minor to defend Troy, where he was slain by Achilles. Memnon’s name, meaning “steadfast” or “resolute”, connects him to the goddess of dawn, Eos, his mother. The northern statue, often called the “Vocal Memnon”, was believed to emit a mysterious cry at dawn, leading to its association with Memnon and earning him the title “Ruler of the West.” Despite these later associations, the statues originally served as guardians of Amenhotep III’s mortuary temple, symbolizing strength and protection.
Admission Ticket IncludedTemple of Karnak
The Karnak Temple Complex, dating back to around 2055 BC to 100 AD, is one of the most extraordinary and expansive religious structures ever built. Constructed as a cult temple, it was dedicated to the Theban Triad—the gods Amun, Mut, and Khonsu. Renowned as the “Most Select of Places” by ancient Egyptians, Karnak served as a spiritual and ceremonial center for thousands of years. Its immense size, intricate carvings, towering columns, and grand halls make it a testament to the architectural and artistic brilliance of ancient Egypt.
