Temple of Hatshepsut at Deir el Bahari - Located in the Theban Necropolis on Luxor’s west bank, the Temple of Hatshepsut at Deir el Bahari is an ancient funerary temple.

Colossi of Memnon - The Colossi of Memnon are two enormous stone statues representing Pharaoh Amenhotep III, who ruled during the 18th Dynasty of the New Kingdom.

Crafted from quartzite sandstone, they stand approximately 18 meters (60 feet) tall, depicting Amenhotep III seated on a throne with hands on his knees.
