Tour Itinerary

Valley of the Kings

Temple of Hatshepsut at Deir el-Bahari

1 hour • Admission not included

It is 97 feet (30 m) tall. The unusual form of Hatshepsut's temple is explained by the choice of location, in the valley basin of Deir el-Bahari, surrounded by steep cliffs. It was here, in about 2050 BC, that Mentuhotep II, the founder of the Middle Kingdom, laid out his sloping, terrace-shaped mortuary temple.

Valley of the Queens

1.5 hours • Admission not included

The Valley of the Queens is a site in Egypt where the wives of pharaohs were buried in ancient times. It was known then as Ta-Set-Neferu, meaning "the place of beauty." It was most famous for being the burial site of many wives of pharaohs. The pharaohs themselves were buried in the Valley of the Kings.

Valley of the Artisans (Deir el-Medina)

1 hour • Admission not included

Deir el-Medina, or Dayr al-Madīnah, is an ancient Egyptian workmen's village which was home to the artisans who worked on the tombs in the Valley of the Kings during the 18th to 20th Dynasties.
