The Valley of the Kings, located on the west bank of the Nile River near Luxor, Egypt, served as the primary burial ground for pharaohs and powerful nobles of the New Kingdom (18th to 20th Dynasties, approximately 1539–1075 BCE). This arid valley is home to over 60 known rock-cut tombs, including that of the famous Tutankhamun, renowned for their elaborate decorations depicting ancient Egyptian mythology, funerary rituals, and beliefs about the afterlife. Designated a UNESCO World Heritage Site in 1979, the Valley of the Kings remains a crucial archaeological site offering invaluable insights into ancient Egyptian civilization.
Hatshepsut's Temple, also known as Djeser-Djeseru ("Holy of Holies"), is a magnificent mortuary temple located beneath the cliffs at Deir el-Bahari on the west bank of the Nile, near Luxor. Commissioned by Queen Hatshepsut, one of ancient Egypt's most powerful female pharaohs (18th Dynasty), and designed by her steward Senenmut, it's celebrated for its unique multi-tiered, terraced architecture that blends harmoniously with the natural cliffs.
The Colossi of Memnon are two massive stone statues of the Pharaoh Amenhotep III, dating back to the 18th Dynasty (around 1350 BCE). Standing prominently on the west bank of the Nile River, near modern-day Luxor, these colossal figures once guarded the entrance to Amenhotep III's mortuary temple, which was the largest temple in the Theban Necropolis. Each statue depicts the pharaoh in a seated position, hands resting on his knees, gazing eastward towards the rising sun. They are approximately 18 meters (60 feet) high and weigh an estimated 720 tons each
