Valley of the Kings:

On the list of the world’s most famous archaeological sites, the Valley of the Kings served as the ancient royal cemetery for New Kingdom pharaohs of Egypt, including the most well-known, Tutankhamun. With over sixty tombs—many richly decorated and carved deep into the rock with symbolic artwork, hieroglyphs, and secret chambers—this site was designed to guide pharaohs into the afterlife.

Temple of Queen Hatshepsut: 

Beautifully set against the dramatic cliffs of Deir el-Bahri, the Temple of Queen Hatshepsut is one of the most beautiful and well-preserved ancient Egyptian temples. This astounding mortuary temple was built to honor one of Egypt’s few female pharaohs. Its terraces, statues, and relief carvings reflect the prosperity of her reign and her devotion to the god Amun. As you walk through the temple with your guide, you will hear the story of Hatshepsut—how she rose to power in a male-dominated world and how her legacy continues to captivate historians and visitors alike.

Colossi of Memnon:

For more than 3,000 years, the Colossi of Memnon have watched over the gateway to the long-lost mortuary temple of Amenhotep III on the west bank of the Nile near Luxor. Standing about 18 meters (60 feet) high, each statue is carved from a single block of sandstone.
