The Valley of the Kings
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 Temple of Hatshepsut
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.
The Colossi of Memnon
These two faceless colossi (the plural of colossus, which just means larger-than-life statue) are the first thing visitors see when they reach the west bank of the Nile opposite Luxor.

We were blown away by how amazing our tour guide and driver were! Khaled Abbass, our tour guide, went ABOVE and BEYOND for every single experience!! He took fantastic photos with the perfect angles, gave us loads of valuable information about Egypt, its history, as well as Cairo and the do’s and don’ts, car jam sessions with great music, snacks water and lunch were always incredible and perfectly timed in the day. We sincerely booked a tour with a guide, and in return we received life long friends & family! I cannot express how great this tour was, and how great they were!! They were so comfortable to be around, VERY trustworthy, for example, He would stick up for us if anyone was selling us anything over priced or not worth the money, and was always so kind and courteous if we wanted to spend any extra time at a place, and made sure we were always enjoying ourselves! Please book this tour and request Khaled as your guide. You will NOT regret it!
