Our trip will begin with an amazing visit to the city of Habu's temple, one of the biggest temples of the 20th Dynasty. It was constructed as a burial temple early in King Ramses III's reign to worship the deity Amun and conduct death rites for him. As the Temple of Amun's treasurer, Amun Mes oversaw the temple's construction. The Christian city that was constructed inside the temple walls is referenced in the first half of the temple's modern name. Some people think that the term "Hapu" alludes to Amenhotep III's minister, Amenhotep son of Hapu. It is also thought that the name alludes to the Christian priest who later lived here.

The eastern valley, which houses the majority of the royal tombs, and the western valley make up the Valley of the Kings.
