Begin your tour at the renowned Valley of the Kings, where you’ll explore three tombs of famous ancient Egyptian pharaohs. This valley was the main burial site for major royal figures of the Egyptian New Kingdom. You will also have the opportunity to visit the tombs of Tutankhamen, Ramses VI, and Seti I (additional tickets required).
- Temple of Hatshepsut - Next, visit the mortuary temple of Queen Hatshepsut (1490-1469 B.C.) at Deir el Bahari. The temple is notable for its three terraces and colonnaded halls. Learn about the first recorded trading expedition to the land of Punt (modern-day Somalia).
