Excursion from Hurghada to Luxor to the Valley of the Kings

The Valley of the Kings in Luxor West (Thebes) was a necropolis in Ancient Egypt. In ancient Egyptian, the Valley of the Kings was called Sechet-aat (the great field).
It is the largest necropolis of the Egyptian pharaohs. In the Valley of the Kings, in particular, the tombs of the rulers of the new kingdom can be found. The valley is located in Thebes West, opposite Karnak on the edge of the desert and is lined with high mountains. Despite thousands of years of activity of excavations and looting, the Valley of the Kings still provides Egyptologists with numerous highly valuable grave finds. In 1922, Tutankhamun's tomb was discovered largely intact by Howard Carter. The first clearly identified tomb in the Valley of the Kings dates from Pharaoh Thutmosis I. With Napoleon's expedition to Egypt, the systematic search and opening of graves began. In the Valley of the Kings you will visit three tombs.

The Colossi of Memnon are two ancient Egyptian colossal statues from the 14th century BC standing side by side. They are located in the Nile Valley, not far from the Valley of the Kings in Thebes West.
The quartzite statues represent King Amenhotep III sitting on a throne.
The statues are still about 18 meters high including the pedestal.

the mortuary temple of Hatshepsut dates back to the 18th dynasty and is the best preserved temple in Thebes on the west bank of the Nile.
The entire temple complex was built of limestone. Within about 15 years, from the 7th to the 22nd year of the reign of Queen Hatshepsut, this temple was built. The temple has its own idiosyncratic architecture.
