Itinerary
- Valley of the Kings: Located in the Valley of the Kings, Tutankhamun's Tomb (KV62) is one of the most significant archaeological discoveries of the 20th century. Discovered by Howard Carter in 1922, the tomb of the boy-king Tutankhamun is famous for its wealth of artifacts, including the iconic golden death mask. The tomb’s small size belies its historical importance, and the richly decorated burial chamber offers a glimpse into the opulence and ritual practices of ancient Egypt. Visitors can see the original wall paintings depicting scenes from the afterlife and the sarcophagus that once held the young pharaoh’s mummy.
- Temple of Hatshepsut: Explore the magnificent mortuary temple of Queen Hatshepsut, one of Egypt's most successful female pharaohs. Admire the unique architecture and learn about her fascinating reign.
- Colossi of Memnon: Stand in awe before the two massive stone statues of Pharaoh Amenhotep III, known as the Colossi of Memnon. These impressive statues have stood the test of time and are a testament to ancient Egyptian craftsmanship.
