You will visit the Valley of the Kings, which is considered one of the most famous and distinctive archaeological sites in the world. The Valley of the Kings is divided into two different valleys, the Eastern and Western. The eastern part is the most famous of them, as the Western Valley contains a small number of tombs. The Valley of the Kings contains a total of more than sixty impressive and distinctive tombs, in addition to twenty incomplete tombs that are no more than pits. This site was carefully chosen to bury the kings to be safe; it is located on the west bank of the Nile because the sun god dies on the western horizon to be reborn, and his youth is renewed on the eastern horizon, and for this reason, the West was associated with funerary concepts, and most of the ancient Egyptian beautiful tombs were located on the west bank of the Nile.

You will also visit the Deir el-Bahari Temple, which is a funerary temple for Queen Hatshepsut, where rituals were performed for her after her death when she turned into the state of the god Osiris. This temple was not only dedicated to her, as the temple included parts dedicated to her father, King Thutmose I, and the famous goddess Hathor, as well as the god Anubis, the god of the underworld. An open cabin was also dedicated to the sky, dedicated to the sun god "Ra Horakhty," and there is a great place dedicated to Amun, at the end of the upper courtyard, on the main axis of the temple; a passage was cut into the mountain ending in the Holy of Holies.

You will also see the two huge statues of Memnon standing as guardians in Thebes since 1350 BC. They were part of the funerary temple of Amenhotep III, the largest of its kind at the time. The temple suffered from the annual floods that submerged the city, leaving the colossal statues isolated. They depict the pharaoh seated with his hands resting on his knees, facing east towards the Nile and the rising sun. The colossi were rediscovered by European travelers in the early modern period. These statues gained widespread attention in the 19th century. The famous Italian explorer Giovanni Battista Belzoni documented them in 19.
