The valley of the Kings

The Valley of the Kings is the legendary burial ground of the New Kingdom, with 64 discovered tombs hidden in the cliffs. I will explain the history of the area and why this site was chosen, while selecting a quiet spot for our talk away from the noise. We will explore three beautiful tombs together, where I'll show you how the architecture changed between the Dynasties and share the story of Howard Carter’s discovery of Tutankhamun.Please note that special tombs like Tutankhamun, Seti I, and Ramses V/VI require extra tickets. I am completely flexible; if you decide to visit these extra tombs, there will be no additional guiding fee from my side. To ensure your peace inside, I will provide all insights outside, so you can step into the ancient silence and enjoy the art at your own pace

Mortuary Temple of Hatshepsut

Continue to the stunning Temple of Hatshepsut, an architectural masterpiece carved into the limestone cliffs. This unique temple stands as a testament to the power of the female Pharaoh who ruled Egypt as a King. I will share the fascinating story of how she defied tradition to take the throne, her famous expedition to the Land of Punt, and the mystery of her divine birth. We will explore the grand terraces together and I’ll help you find the best vantage points for your photos to capture the temple's perfect symmetry in a relaxed atmosphere

12:30 PM

Colossi of Memnon

Curated stop to witness the legendary 18-meter-high statues of Amenhotep III. These massive 720-ton guardians have stood for over 3,400 years as the silent sentinels of the West Bank. I will share the fascinating story of how they were named 'Memnon' by the ancient Greeks, who believed the whistling sound at dawn was the hero Memnon calling to his mother. We’ll also talk about how these quartzite giants were transported over 600 km to this site. This is the perfect spot for your final iconic photos before we conclude our journey in a relaxed and professional way
