Valley of the Kings, also known as "The Valley of the Kings", is a valley in Egypt that was used for 500 years during the period between the sixteenth and eleventh centuries BC to construct tombs for the pharaohs and nobles of the modern state extending during the eighteenth dynasties to the twentieth dynasty in ancient Egypt. The valley on the west bank of the Nile River facing Thebes (Luxor now) in the heart of the ancient funerary city of Thebes. The Valley of the Kings is divided into two valleys; The Eastern Valley (where most of the royal tombs are located) and the Western Valley. And with the discovery of the last burial chamber in 2006, known as (Cemetery 63), in addition to the discovery of two other entrances to the same chamber during 2008.
3. Temple of Hatshepsut at Deir el Bahari
Temple of Hatshepsut or the mortuary temple of Hatshepsut is a temple from the Eighteenth Dynasty of Egypt, and the best remaining temples were built about 3500 years ago in Deir el-Bahari, Egypt. It was built by Queen Hatshepsut on the west bank of the Nile opposite to Thebes (the capital of ancient Egypt and the seat of the Amun worship) (Luxor today). The Temple of Hatshepsut is distinguished by its unique architectural design, in comparison to the Egyptian temples that were built on the eastern bank of the Nile at Thebes. The temple consists of three successive floors with open terraces. The temple was built of limestone, and in front of the second floor columns were erected limestone statues of the god Osiris and Queen Hatshepsut in a beautiful distribution. Originally, those statues were colored, and now only some monuments remain of the colors, and some statues are in very good condition, indicating the elegance and beauty of the temple's design.
4. Colossi of Memnon
Colossus of Memnon, known locally as (Al-Kulsat or Salamat), is two huge statues, built around the year 1350 BC, which are all that remains of a temple built in memory of Pharaoh Amenhotep III, who ruled Egypt during the eighteenth dynasty, located in the funeral city of Thebes Located west of the Nile in the present-day city of Luxor, the two identical statues depict Amenhotep III (14th century BC) seated, hands spread on his knees and looking eastward (in fact toward the southeast in modern directions) toward the river. Two short figures are carved on the front of the throne, along with his legs: his wife Tiye and his mother Death M and Ya. The side panels depict the Nile god Habi. The statues were made from blocks of quartzite sandstone that were quarried from Jabal al-Ahmar (near present-day Cairo) and transported 675 km (420 mi) overland to Thebes (Luxor).
5. Temple of Karnak
Karnak, or the Karnak Temple Complex, which is known as the Karnak Temple, is a group of temples, buildings and columns, where the expansion and construction processes continued since the Pharaonic era, specifically the kings of the Middle Kingdom, until the Roman era in Luxor in Egypt on the eastern coast. The temple was built for the divine triad Amun (Amun Ra in the modern era), his wife the goddess Mut and their son the god Khonsu; And each of them has a temple belonging to the Karnak Temples Complex. The temple was named with this name in relation to the city of Karnak, and it is a modern name that is distorted from the Arabic word Khurang, meaning the fortified village, which was given to many temples in the area during this period. While the temple was known in the beginning as "Bar Amun", meaning the temple of Amun or Betamun, and during the Middle Kingdom it was called the name Ibt Sut, which means the most chosen of places (sometimes translated as the chosen spot)
6. Luxor Temple
Luxor Temple is a large complex of ancient Egyptian temples located on the eastern bank of the Nile River in the city of Luxor today known as (Thebes ancient). Founded in 1400 BC. The Luxor Temple was built to worship Amun-Ra, his wife Mut, and their son Khonsu. They are the gods, which are also called the Theban Triad (Theban Triad). Luxor Temple was built during the reign of the kings of the Eighteenth Dynasty and the Nineteenth Dynasty. The most important buildings in the temple are those that were built by Kings Amenhotep III (1397-1360 BC) and Ramses II (1290-1223 BC) (who added to the temple the open courtyard, the edifice, and the obelisks). Also, King Thutmose III (1490-1436 BC) set up shrines for visitors of the holy Theban Triad.

Four of us went on this tour - it was pretty amazing. You go with a shared group of people in the hot air balloon in the beginning. I recommend for getting the best pictures, stand on the outer end of the basket, farthest away from the captain.

Our captain was competent and nice. We definitely felt safe with him. After the hot air balloon, they take you back to your hotel so you can have breakfast. If you don’t care about eating or have limited time, our guide said you can arrange to go to the Valley of the Kings right after the hot air balloon. The West Bank is a bit of a drive!

Our private English tour guide was Harem and he was so knowledgeable! We did a tour the day before in French and Harem blew our former guide out of the water. We really learned a lot from him. I would also recommend paying extra to see the tomb of Ramses VI. It was incredible.

Our driver was Hussein and he was a great driver. We had such a wonderful time exploring the West Bank a second time and would go back in a heartbeat with the same tour company. There is still so much to learn!
