Itinerary
- Valley of the Kings: At the Valley of the Kings, stand in awe as you enter several of the richly decorated tombs where pharaohs of the New Kingdom prepared for eternity. Admire the elaborate wall paintings and hieroglyphics that narrate passages from the Book of the Dead and reveal the spiritual beliefs of ancient Egypt.
- Valley of the Kings: Continue to the Valley of the Queens, where royal wives and children were laid to rest. Here, you may have the opportunity to see the celebrated Tomb of Queen Nefertari (optional), renowned for its vibrant and well-preserved artwork, often described as the Sistine Chapel of ancient Egypt.
- Temple of Hatshepsut at Deir el Bahari: Your tour then leads to the awe-inspiring Temple of Hatshepsut, one of the most striking monuments of ancient architecture. Built dramatically against towering cliffs at Deir el-Bahari, this temple honors Egypt’s only female pharaoh. Marvel at its terraced design, graceful colonnades, and vivid reliefs that depict her divine birth and successful reign. The story of Hatshepsut is one of ambition and legacy, and visiting her temple provides a glimpse into her extraordinary achievements.
