• Temple of Karnak - The Karnak Temple Complex, often referred to as Karnak (from the Arabic Khurnak, meaning “fortified village”), is a vast collection of ancient temples, chapels, pylons, and other structures near Luxor, Egypt. Construction began during the reign of Senusret I in the Middle Kingdom (around 2000–1700 BC) and continued into the Ptolemaic period (305–30 BC), with most existing structures dating from the New Kingdom. The area around Karnak was known as Ipet-isut (“The Most Selected of Places”) in ancient Egypt and served as the main worship site for the Eighteenth Dynasty Theban Triad, with the god Amun at its head. It is part of the monumental city of Thebes. The Karnak complex lends its name to the nearby modern village of El-Karnak, located 2.5 kilometers (1.6 miles) north of Luxor.
• Luxor Temple - The Luxor Temple (Arabic: معبد الاقصر) is a significant Ancient Egyptian temple complex on the east bank of the Nile River in what is now Luxor (ancient Thebes), constructed around 1400 BCE. In Egyptian, it is called ipet resyt, “the southern sanctuary.” Luxor hosts several grand temples on both the east and west banks. Among the notable mortuary temples visited by early travelers are the Temple of Seti I at Gurnah, the Temple of Hatshepsut at Deir el Bahri, the Temple of Ramesses II (Ramesseum), and the Temple of Ramesses III at Medinet Habu. The two main cult temples on the east bank are Karnak and Luxor. Unlike other temples in Thebes, Luxor Temple is not dedicated to a cult god or a deified pharaoh. Instead, it is dedicated to the rejuvenation of kingship and may have been where many pharaohs of Egypt were crowned, either in reality or symbolically.
• Colossi of Memnon - The Colossi of Memnon (Arabic: el-Colossat or es-Salamat) are two enormous stone statues of Pharaoh Amenhotep III, who ruled Egypt during the Eighteenth Dynasty. Since 1350 BCE, they have stood in the Theban Necropolis, west of the Nile River from modern Luxor.

The twin statues depict Amenhotep III (fl. 14th century BCE) seated, with his hands on his knees and his gaze facing eastward (actually ESE in modern terms) towards the river. Two smaller figures are carved into the front of the throne alongside his legs: his wife Tiye and mother Mutemwiya. The side panels feature the Nile god Hapi.

• Temple of Hatshepsut at Deir el Bahari - The Mortuary Temple of Hatshepsut, also known as Djeser-Djeseru, is an Ancient Egyptian mortuary temple located in Upper Egypt. Built for the Eighteenth Dynasty pharaoh Hatshepsut, who died in 1458 BC, the temple is situated beneath the cliffs at Deir el-Bahari on the west bank of the Nile near the Valley of the Kings. This mortuary temple is dedicated to Amun and Hatshepsut and is located next to the mortuary temple of Mentuhotep II, which served as both inspiration and later a quarry. It is considered one of the “incomparable monuments of ancient Egypt.”
• Valley of the Kings - The Valley of the Kings is a valley in Egypt where, for nearly 500 years from the 16th to 11th century BC, rock-cut tombs were created for the pharaohs and powerful nobles of the New Kingdom (the Eighteenth to the Twentieth Dynasties of Ancient Egypt).

The valley is located on the west bank of the Nile, opposite Thebes (modern Luxor), within the heart of the Theban Necropolis. It consists of two valleys, East Valley (where most royal tombs are found) and West Valley.

With the discovery of a new chamber in 2005 and two additional tomb entrances in 2008, the valley is known to contain 64 tombs and chambers. It was the primary burial site for major royal figures of the Egyptian New Kingdom, as well as several privileged nobles. The royal tombs are adorned with scenes from Egyptian mythology, providing insights into the beliefs and funerary practices of the time.
