Step Into the Royal Necropolis of the Valley of the Kings

The legendary Valley of the Kings serves as the most important attraction for people who visit the West Bank. The royal burial site which the desert hills conceal functioned as the final resting place for many powerful pharaohs of the New Kingdom.

The tombs contain colorful wall paintings which show afterlife scenes that lead pharaohs through their eternal journey. The tombs contain distinct narratives which preserve their complex features through thousands of years.

The tomb of Tutankhamun stands as one of the most renowned findings at this site which contains an astounding collection of artifacts that astonished the world and still captivates present-day tourists.

Marvel at the Temple of Hatshepsut

The Temple of Hatshepsut stands as one of the most beautiful architectural masterpieces which exist on the West Bank. 

The temple exists as a dedication to one of Egypt's most powerful female rulers who was honored through its construction on the Deir el-Bahari cliff face. The building's design features terraces and columns which create a stunning view that integrates with the natural desert environment. 

The temple demonstrates Hatshepsut's ambitious vision which she used to rule Egypt while building an extraordinary historical legacy.

Stand Before the Giants at the Colossi of Memnon

The tour will lead you to the Colossi of Memnon which consist of two enormous stone statues that have remained standing for more than 1000 years. 
The statues which were built to protect a grand mortuary temple have become the only remaining part of the majestic building. The statues have stood for hundreds of years yet they maintain their power to awe visitors through their great size and historical importance.
