Visit the archaeological sites of the ancient Egyptians on the west bank of the Nile including the Valley of the Kings, where you will see the well-preserved tombs belonging to the kings of the new kingdom like the great ruler Ramses II and the child King Tut Ankh Amon.
Visit the Mortuary Temple of Queen Hatshepsut called "the Holy of Holies”. It is one of the best architectural buildings. It consists of three levels connected with each other by ramps and has different scenes on its walls depicting the divine birth of the Queen and her Commercial expedition to Punt Land. The temple is mainly dedicated to worship the supreme god Amon-Ra, and the 2 Colossi of Memnon, which are two massive statues representing King Amenhotep III in a seating position.
Head to visit the two Massive temples on the eastern bank of the Nile:
The first one is the Karnak Temple Complex, which comprises a vast mix of decayed temples, chapels, pylons, and other buildings. The building at the complex began during the reign of Senusret I in the Middle Kingdom and continued till the Ptolemaic Period. It's a vast open-air museum and the second largest ancient religious site in the world. It's mainly a place to worship the Theban triad (Gods Amon, his consort Mut, and their son Khunso).
The Second Temple is Luxor Temple, which is believed that one of the ancient Egyptian's festivals was held inside the temple as there are different scenes on the walls representing the celebration of the festival. Its inner part was built by King Amenhotep III while the outer part was built by King Ramses II. After entering the temple, you will find a mosque called Abu Al-Haggag, built on the ruins of a church which were built inside the temple. To the rear of the temple, there are chapels built by King Thutmosis III and Alexander the Great.
