Venturing into the Valley of the Kings, you'll encounter the tombs of two significant figures from ancient Egypt - Queen Nefertari and King Tutankhamun, along with the awe-inspiring Temple of Queen Hatshepsut. These iconic sites offer a glimpse into the rich history and artistry of ancient Egypt. Nefertari's Tomb: Delve into the exquisite tomb of Queen Nefertari, one of the most beloved and influential queens of ancient Egypt. Marvel at the intricate wall paintings and colorful hieroglyphs that adorn the tomb's interior, depicting scenes from her life and her journey to the afterlife. Nefertari's tomb is renowned for its stunning artwork, making it a true treasure of the Valley of the Kings.
King Tutankhamun's Tomb: Discover the burial place of the famous pharaoh, King Tutankhamun, whose tomb held a wealth of treasures when it was unearthed by archaeologist Howard Carter in 1922. Although smaller in scale compared to other royal tombs, King Tut's tomb is of immense historical significance, and its artifacts shed light on the opulence and culture of ancient Egypt.
Temple of Queen Hatshepsut: Visit the Temple of Queen Hatshepsut, an architectural marvel nestled within the cliffs of Deir el-Bahari. This temple is dedicated to Queen Hatshepsut, the only female pharaoh of ancient Egypt, and features impressive terraces, colonnades, and stunning reliefs. The temple's unique design and historical importance make it a must-see attraction in Luxor.
Your journey continues to the renowned Valley of the Kings, a burial ground used for over 500 years during the New Kingdom period. Here, pharaohs and nobles were entombed in elaborate underground chambers. You'll explore four royal tombs, including the Tomb of Ramses, the Tomb of Horemheb, the Tomb of Merenptah, and the Tomb of Ramesses IX.
Following your hot air balloon experience, your guide will meet you at the Colossi of Memnon, two massive statues that are remnants of a temple dedicated to Pharaoh Amenhotep III. These statues depict the pharaoh seated, with his wife Tiye and mother Mutemwia depicted on the sides of his throne.

Very bad experience!!! The guided tour did not take place!!! We just sent you an email on this subject with all attachments!!!
Excellent tour provided - they picked me up promptly from my hotel and took me to the Valley of the Kings, Hatcheptsut and Medinat Habu (as Nefertari’s tomb was closed) my guide was very knowledgeable and took the time to explain everything to me. Would recommend
