Luxor West Bank, Valley of the Kings and Hatshepsut.
Description
The West Bank of the Nile and visit the wondrous Valley of the Kings, a vast city of the dead, where the magnificent tombs of 62 pharaohs have been discovered. The tombs were carved deep into the desert rock, richly decorated and filled with treasures for the afterlife of the pharaohs. Visit several of the tombs. Next, visit the Temple of Queen Hatshepsut. This beautiful monument to the reign of the only female pharaoh rises out of the desert plain in a series of terraces and merges with the sheer limestone cliffs that surround it. On the way back stop at the famed Colossi of Memnon, two 66ft, 1 thousand ton statues of Amenhotep III. These colossal statues were known by the ancient Greeks to emit haunting voices at dawn. Though damaged by nature and ancient tourists, the statues are still impressive,

I’ve bever been in so much awe at the valley of the kings! And seeing king tut’s mummy & tomb made my trip here extra special. I’ve only seen 5 tombs. I need to go back and see the rest! Magnifico! Hatshepsut’s temple is “different” from the others so don’t fail ro visit!
