Temple of Karnak - The Karnak Temple Complex features a collection of temples, chapels, and other structures resembling a village. The name ‘Karnak’ means ‘fortified village’ in Arabic. Located in Karnak, Luxor Governorate, on the east bank of the Nile River in southern Egypt, the temple dates back to around 2055 BC to 100 AD. It was built as a cult temple dedicated to the gods Amun, Mut, and Khonsu. As the largest religious building ever constructed, the Karnak Temple was known as “most select of places” by ancient Egyptians.

Temple of Ramesses III, Karnak - Karnak is a complex of temples built during various reigns, starting with the Avenue of Sphinxes, the Hypostyle Hall with its 134 massive columns, the Obelisks of Queen Hatshepsut and Thutmose I, the Temple of Amon adorned with lotus and papyrus designs, the Granite Scarab of Amenhotep III, and the Sacred Lake. Karnak surpasses all other pharaonic monuments and is considered one of the most stunning ancient sites in Egypt.
-
Obelisk of Queen Hatshepsut - The Obelisks of Queen Hatshepsut and Thutmose I, the Temple of Amon.
-
Colossi of Memnon - The Colossi of Memnon are the two largest ancient statues in Egypt, dating back to the era of King Amenhotep III.
-
Temple of Hatshepsut at Deir el-Bahari - This mortuary temple is dedicated to Queen Hatshepsut, the longest-reigning female pharaoh of Ancient Egypt. The temple is adorned with statues, sphinxes, and reliefs that have been meticulously restored over time.
-
Valley of the Kings - The rulers of the Eighteenth, Nineteenth, and Twentieth Dynasties of Egypt’s prosperous New Kingdom (c.1550–1069 BC) were buried in a desolate dry river valley across the river from the ancient city of Thebes (modern Luxor), hence its modern name, the Valley of the Kings. This name is somewhat misleading, as some royal family members and a few high-ranking non-royals were also buried here. The Valley of the Kings is divided into the East and West Valleys, with the eastern being more iconic. The site includes over sixty tombs and an additional twenty unfinished ones. Its location on the west side of the Nile is significant, symbolizing the setting (death) of the sun god in the western horizon.
-
Tomb of Ramesses III - The tomb of Ramesses III, designated as KV 11, is a complex system in the Valley of the Kings. Known since antiquity, it features colorful painted sunken reliefs with traditional ritual texts (Litany of Ra, Book of Gates, etc.) and depictions of Ramesses before the gods. Unique secular scenes in the small side rooms of the entrance corridor show foreign tributes, detailed pottery from the Aegean, the royal armory, boats, and blind harpists, giving the tomb its alternative name: ‘Tomb of the Harpers’.
-
Tomb of Ramesses IX - KV6 is one of the earliest tombs in the Valley of the Kings and has been open since antiquity. Many inscriptions left by ancient visitors can be found here. The tomb is the burial place of Pharaoh Ramesses IX of the 20th Dynasty. Archaeological findings suggest it was completed hastily, with many corners cut after Ramesses IX’s death. Located in the central wadi, KV6 spans 105 meters and features a gate with a shallow descending ramp leading to three corridors with four unfinished and undecorated side chambers. The tomb boasts one of the largest entrances in the valley, with rare features like pilasters at the entryway and a large two-tiered pit in the burial chamber. KV6 is among the last tombs in the Valley.
-
Tomb of Merenptah - Merneptah (Valley Of The Kings - KV8). The burial chamber in KV8 is unique, with multiple niches on the front and rear walls, indicating that Merenptah rested in a set of four stone sarcophagi. Door jambs were removed to bring the sarcophagi inside and later replaced with sandstone blocks. Pillars were also removed and partially replaced. KV8 has five corridors, with walls depicting scenes from the ‘Litany of Re’, the Amduat, the ‘Book of Gates’, and the ‘Book of the Dead’, while the ceilings feature astronomical scenes. The fourth corridor shows the king in the ‘Opening of the Mouth Ceremony’, and the fifth corridor leads to the sarcophagus hall, the king’s actual burial chamber, with the splendidly restored lid of his anthropoid sarcophagus.
