What can you Expect to see during Excursion Luxor & Valley of Queens from Hurghada?

Monuments on the eastern bank of the River Nile

Karnak Temple

It is the largest temple complex in the ancient world. Amazingly, it represents the achievement of many generations of ancient builders and pharaohs. Its old name is Ipet-isut, meaning “the most sacred of places”.

Unceasingly, this complex temple’s building lasted over two thousand years. It comprises three principal temples, smaller enclosed temples, and several outer temples on 247 acres of land. Within the great “Hypostyle Hall” haunt an incredible forest of giant pillars.

Luxor Temple

The Temple of Luxor remained the centre of the most important festival – the festival of Opet. Amenhotep III and Ramses II founded this majestic Luxor temple dedicated to the god Amun. This festival was to reconcile the human aspect of the ruler with the divine office.

Valley of the Queens

In this Dolmen Valley, there is a preserved road along which workers of Deir el-Medina moved to the Valley of the Queens. Along this road, you will see a rocky temple built in honour of Ptah and Meritseger.

Hatshepsut Temple

At El Deir El Bahary, Hatshepsut temple is an impressive temple dedicated to Queen Hatshepsut, the only female pharaoh. Impressively, it rises out in the desert with a series of terraces. It merges with the sheer limestone cliffs that surround it. It is one of the most beautiful & best preserved of all of the temples of Ancient Egypt.

Temple of Tuthmose III

the temple construction occurred in the last decade of Thutmose III’s reign. We can guess that it was around 1435-1425 BC. Most probably, the temple saw destruction by an earthquake. It happened at the beginning of the twenty-first dynasty. Many discoveries took place eventually. One of them was the fragments of walls covered with relief decoration.

Also, Colossi of Memnon

The significant remains of a vast mortuary temple are two massive mono-stone statues of King Amenhotep III.
