Valley of the Kings - The rulers of Egypt’s prosperous New Kingdom, specifically the Eighteenth, Nineteenth, and Twentieth Dynasties (c.1550–1069 BC), were interred in a barren dry river valley across from the ancient city of Thebes, now known as Luxor. This area is commonly referred to as the Valley of the Kings. However, this name is somewhat misleading, as it also includes the tombs of some royal family members and a few high-ranking non-royal individuals. The Valley of the Kings is divided into the East and West Valleys, with the eastern valley being the more renowned due to its numerous tombs, while the western valley contains only a few. In total, the Valley of the Kings comprises over sixty tombs, along with an additional twenty unfinished ones that are essentially pits.

Temple of Hatshepsut at Deir el Bahari - Hatshepsut (c.1473–1458 BC), the queen who ascended to the role of pharaoh, constructed a splendid temple at Deir al-Bahari on the west bank of Luxor. It is located directly across the Nile from Karnak Temple, the primary sanctuary of the god Amun. Hatshepsut’s temple, known as Djeser-djeseru or “the Holy of Holies,” was designed by Senenmut, the chief steward of Amun.
-
Temple of Medinat Habu - The Temple of Ramesses III at Medinet Habu was a significant temple structure from the New Kingdom period, located on the West Bank of Luxor in Egypt.
-
Valley of the Artisans (Deir el-Medina) - Deir el-Medina, also known as Dayr al-Madīnah, is an ancient Egyptian village that housed the artisans who crafted the tombs in the Valley of the Kings during the 18th to 20th Dynasties.
