Temple of Hatshepsut at Deir el Bahari
Continue to the breathtaking mortuary temple of Queen Hatshepsut. Set against towering cliffs, this architectural gem narrates her reign through sculpted reliefs—many defaced by her successors in an attempt to erase her from history.

Renowned for its vivid wall reliefs and towering pylons, it offers deep insight into the reign of Ramses III, his military victories, and the temple's role in the religious and economic life of ancient Thebes. Your guide will walk you through its most significant features, including battle scenes and ceremonial chambers, before giving you time to explore the site at your own pace.

Valley of the Artisans (Deir el-Medina)
End the day at the Valley of the Artisans, also known as Deir el-Medina—a remarkable settlement once inhabited by the skilled craftsmen who built the royal tombs in the Valley of the Kings. Nestled in a desert valley, this ancient village is exceptionally well-preserved, offering a rare glimpse into the daily lives, homes, and tombs of the laborers and artists of the New Kingdom. Walk through the narrow streets, visit the small but beautifully decorated tombs, and gain an intimate understanding of the people who helped shape Egypt’s most iconic legacy.
