We will start by visiting Luxor Temple and see the temple facade, which includes six statues of King Ramses II and Amenhotep III. We will also take memorial photos of the facade, which is the most prominent among all the Luxor temples. We will also see the statues of Ramses II inside the temple buildings, on the top of which is the Sufi pole Abu Al-Hajjaj Al-Aqsuri Mosque, in a creative image that blends Pharaonic, Islamic and Coptic civilizations.
We're taking advantage of our East Bank visit to the Karnak Temples, where each king added new structures "to draw closer to the gods - according to the ancient Egyptians' belief - and in a desire for immortality and to gain great fame among the people." Construction of these temples spanned approximately two thousand years.
The Valley of the Kings, which has no equal on the West Bank, is our next destination. Among the most important tombs of the Eighteenth Dynasty are those of Thutmose I, Thutmose III, Thutmose IV, Amenhotep II, and Amenhotep III,, but the richest was the tomb of Tutankhamun (d. 1354-1345 BC), the pharaoh who lived during a period of great turmoil following the death of the monotheist pharaoh Akhenaten.
Then we move to one of the temples of Ramses that he built on the West Bank and is now called the Ramesseum, the name given to it by Jean-François Champollion.
Your car will stop on the way to visit the two colossal Colossi of Memnon. The two statues depict King Amenhotep III, sitting on the throne with a low cushion, placing his hands on his legs, and above him is the royal crown, to the right of his legs is a small statue of his wife, Queen Ti, and on both sides of the throne is an inscription representing the Nile god.
Howard Carter's house is our final destination. Carter's house was built in a rustic style but with a beautiful artistic design, topped with wide domes. It consists of seven rooms and is surrounded by a number of ancient trees. The house contains hundreds of pieces and belongings from the excavation period of the most important pharaonic tomb.
