You will make a quick stop at the Visitor Center when you arrive to the Valley of the Kings, which is the final resting place of the kings of Thebes (ancient Luxor). Your guide will show you what to search for within the ornately adorned rooms, but guides are not allowed inside the tombs.

Before going on to Luxor, there is time for a brief photo stop at the Colossi of Memnon, which marks the site of Amenhotep III's funeral temple.. You can also visit the alabaster factory and purchase real items if you'd want, but these two massive statues are all that's left of the original complex.

Tomb of Ramses II (optional), he established his funerary temple and his tomb, which bears the number 17 of the Valley of the Kings. Discovered in 1817, it is the most beautiful, longest, and deepest of the tombs in the Valley of the Kings, whose sumptuous relief and paintings are the work of great artists.
In the funerary chamber is a remarkable sarcophagus of translucent alabaster, unparalleled in the world. The basin is intact, but not the lid decorated with a figure of the king depicted lying down, savagely broken by robbers. His mummy is the best-preserved, found in 1881 in the hiding place of royal mummies at Deir El Bahari. This mummy was remolded after the first looting of the tomb.
