This iconic site served as the royal burial ground for nearly 500 years during the New Kingdom period, from the Eighteenth to the Twentieth Dynasties. Carved into the cliffs of a desert wadi on the west bank of the Nile, directly across from ancient Thebes (modern-day Luxor), this sacred valley is the final resting place of pharaohs and powerful nobles. Nestled within the Theban Necropolis, the Valley is home to some of the most beautifully decorated tombs in Egypt, showcasing intricate wall paintings and hieroglyphs that have survived thousands of years. You'll have the chance to visit three of these magnificent royal tombs. En route to the East Bank, pause to capture images of the colossal statues of Amenhotep III, famously known as the Colossi of Memnon, which have vigilantly guarded his memorial temple for over 3,400 years. Afterwards, return to your hotel for lunch and check out. Your adventure concludes with a return to Hurghada, leaving you with the memories of Egypt's wonders.
