Don’t miss this opportunity to live the adventure and book now. The Great Temple of Amun at Karnak, this great national monument of Egypt is like no other. It is not a single temple, but a temple within a temple, a shrine within a shrine, where almost all pharaohs, especially in the New Kingdom, wished to record their names and deeds for posterity. Although most of the buildings were built in honor of Amun-Ra, his wife Mut and his son Khonsu, there were several shrines within the complex dedicated to what might be called “guest gods”, such as Ptah of Memphis and Osiris of Abydos. The Mortuary Temple of Hatshepsut  is a mortuary temple built during the reign of Pharaoh Hatshepsut of the Eighteenth Dynasty of Egypt. It is located opposite the city of Luxor, and is considered a masterpiece of ancient architecture. Its three huge terraces rise above the desert land and reach the slopes of Deir el-Bahari. Her tomb, KV20, is located within the same massif topped by the horn, a pyramid of her funerary complex. The Valley of the Kings is located on the west bank of the Nile River near the city of Luxor. It is the most famous site because it contains unique collections of tombs and picturesque ancient ruins. This location makes it one of the most important sites for exploring ancient Egyptian history. The wealth of findings here in the Valley of the Kings has occupied archaeologists for nearly two centuries. If all the tombs here were open to visitors, it would be almost impossible to access them all, but fortunately the prospect of undertaking such a monumental task has been eliminated for you. The Colossi of Memnon are two colossal statues of the Eighteenth Dynasty pharaoh Amenhotep III, originally designed to protect his mortuary temple, located on the west bank of the Nile, opposite Luxor.
