Valley of the Queens
The Valley of the Queens, also known as Wādī al Malekāt in Arabic, served as the burial ground for the wives of pharaohs in ancient Egypt, earning the name Ta-Set-Neferu, meaning "the place of beauty." While the Valley of the Kings housed the pharaohs themselves, this site was renowned for its association with the queens. Your tour includes a visit to the magnificent Temple of Karnak, where you'll marvel at its columned halls, chapels, and sacred lake, all part of the UNESCO World Heritage Site. After lunch at a selected restaurant in Luxor, you'll cross the Nile River on a Feluka to explore the City of the Dead and witness the towering Colossi of Memnon. Admire the remnants of the Temple of Amenhotep III and delve into the beauty of the Valley of the Queens. Discover the remarkable architecture of the Temple of Hatshepsut, honoring one of ancient Egypt's greatest queens. As the day concludes, you'll be transported back to your hotel, completing your memorable journey through Luxor.

Temple of Hatshepsut at Deir el Bahari
Hatshepsut, also known as "Foremost of Noble Ladies" in Egyptian, reigned as the fifth pharaoh of the Eighteenth Dynasty of Egypt from 1507 to 1458 BC. She holds the distinction of being the second historically-confirmed female pharaoh, following Sobekneferu. Prior to Hatshepsut, other women may have also ruled as pharaohs regnant or regents, with records suggesting figures such as Neithhotep as early as around 1600 years before her reign.

Karnak Open Air Museum
Karnak Temple Complex, or simply Karnak, derives its name from the Arabic "Khurnak," signifying "fortified village." Located near Luxor, Egypt, it's a vast collection of temples, chapels, and pylons. Construction began around 2000-1700 BC under Senusret I and continued into the Ptolemaic period, with most structures dating back to the New Kingdom. Karnak was a significant religious center, dedicated to the eighteenth dynasty Theban Triad, with Amun as its principal deity. Situated within the monumental city of Thebes, it's associated with the modern village of El-Karnak, approximately 2.5 kilometers north of Luxor
