Activity itinerary

Tomb of Ramses III
  • 25m
  • Admission ticket not included
The tomb of Ramesses III, designated as KV 11, is a complex system in the Valley of the Kings. It has been known since antiquity,the wonderful decorations include colourful painted sunken reliefs featuring the traditional ritual texts (Litany of Ra, Book of Gates etc) and Ramses before the gods. Unusual here are the secular scenes, in the small side rooms of the entrance corridor, showing foreign tributes, such as highly detailed pottery imported from the Aegean, the royal armoury, boats and, in the last of these side chambers, the blind harpists that gave the tomb one of its alternative names: ‘Tomb of the Harpers’
Tomb of King Tutankhamun (Tut)
  • 25m
  • Admission ticket not included
The Tomb of King Tut. The tomb of Tutankhamun is the only tomb in Valley of the Kings that was discovered nearly intact in 1922. The discoverer of his tomb was Howard Carter.

Tomb of Merenptah
  • 25m
  • Admission ticket not included
In Egyptian mythology, Ptah is the demiurge of Memphis, god of craftsmen and architects. In the or simply in its falcon form of the new deity, began to be placed in tombs to accompany and protect the dead on their journey to the West of Luxor .Tomb 8, which is located in the Valley of the Kings, was the burial place of the Pharaoh Merneptah and is the model of royal tombs Merneptah was a son of Ramesses II and Queen Isis-Nofret.the tomb was discovered by Howard Carter in 1903. Of coursethere is a material decrease in the number of lateral rooms, and a dramatic increase in the height of the corridors and rooms. He did away with the jogged axis used since the time of Horemheb and instead built the entire tomb on a single axis. Also, for the first time, the entrance was made considerably wider than earlier tombs .
Tomb of Seti I

Tomb of Ramses IV
  • 25m
  • Admission ticket not included
The tomb of Ramses IV (KV 2) in the Valley of the Kings is rather different than most other tombs built here. This tomb is by far the most spectacular of the other tombs you will see. The hieroglyphics on the wall depict scenes from the Litany of Ra, Book of the Dead, Book of Caverns, the Book of the Heavens, Book of Amduat, and the Book of the Night. The blue and white colours on the walls inside the burial chamber are very vibrant and you can see the king's sarcophagus made of rose-colored granite. There is also a beautiful scene of goddess Nut on the ceiling, where she is depicted swallowing the sun, and it travelling through her stomach, for Nut to give birth to it. The tomb has so much colour and detail even the ceiling above the sarcophagi with its goddess Nut stretching across the space. The sarcophagus is one of the largest in the valley, even though some of the paintings have deteriorated this is one of the most decorated.
Temple of Hatshepsut at Deir el Bahari
  • 1h
  • Admission ticket not included
After visiting the tombs you will be transported to the Temple of Queen Hatshepsut (Deir el Bahari), the only woman ever to reign over Egypt as Pharaoh.

Colossi of Memnon
  • 15m
  • Admission ticket not included
Colossi of Memnon – Guardians of Ancient Thebes Rising majestically from the Theban Luxor, the Colossi of Memnon are two massive stone statues of Pharaoh Amenhotep III, each standing about 18 metres (60 feet) tall. These towering figures have watched over the Nile Valley for over 3,400 years, welcoming travellers and guarding the ruins of the once magnificent Mortuary Temple of Amenhotep III. Originally constructed to honour the pharaoh as a god in the afterlife, the Colossi were part of the largest temple complex in ancient Thebes—now lost to floods and time. Despite centuries of damage, the statues remain an awe-inspiring sight, especially at sunrise, when the light casts golden hues One of the statues became legendary in the Greco-Roman era, known to “sing” or make a mysterious sound at dawn—believed by ancient tourists to be the voice of Memnon, a hero of the Trojan War. This phenomenon made the site one of the most visited and written about landmarks in the ancient world.
