After enjoying your breakfast, you'll embark on a visit to the most renowned attractions in Luxor. Start your exploration with the Valley of the Kings, where the last burial chamber, known as Tomb No. 63, was discovered in 2006, and additional entrances were found in 2008. These royal tombs are notable for intricate drawings and inscriptions depicting ancient Egyptian mythology, illustrating religious beliefs and memorial ceremonies of that era. Following the Valley of Kings, proceed to the Valley of Queens, formerly known as "Ta-Set-Nefru," translating to "the place of the sons of the pharaoh" or "the place of beauty." This area served as the final resting place for the queens of Pharaonic families.
Take a break for lunch in the midst of these historical surroundings.
Continue your journey to el-Deir el-Bahari, where King Hatshepsut's mortuary temple stands. Preceded by about 600 years by King Mentuhotep Nebhepetre from the Middle Kingdom, this temple features a stepped design, later borrowed by Queen Hatshepsut for her own temple.
The exploration concludes with a visit to the Colossi of Memnon. These two statues represent King Amenhotep III seated on a throne with a low backrest, flanked by his wife, Queen "T," and his mother, "Mutt Um Wya." Inscriptions on both sides of the throne symbolize the unification of the country, linking the Nile's papyrus plant and lotus to the Delta and Upper Egypt.
After this enriching day, return to the hotel to rest and unwind.
