It is the final resting place of Egypt's rulers from the 18th to the 20th Dynasty and is home to tombs including those of Pharaoh Ramses II and King Tutankhamen. The tombs were stocked with the material goods a ruler might need in the next world, and much of the decoration inside remains well preserved.
    • Hatshepsut Temple - This mortuary temple at Deir El-Bahri was built by Queen Hatshepsut, who is considered one of the most formidable women in Ancient Egypt.
    • Colossi of Memnon - These are two incredible massive stone statues of the royal Pharaoh Amenhotep III. They depict him in a seated position and are made from blocks of quartzite sandstone.
  • Now it is time to have lunch before continuing the rest of your tour in Luxor.
