Read the paintings and carvings that make up the beautiful walls of these hallowed burial chambers, telling the story of this golden age history of Egypt. Then observe the wonder, the mortuary temple of Hatshepsut, the very architecture proud over against the cliffs of Deir el-Bahari.

Itinerary
An unbelievable expedition begins with ancient Egyptian history. The Valley of Queens serves as the last place for strong queens and royal children from the time of the New Kingdom. Walk through these beautifully decorated tombs-the stunning tomb of Queen Nefertari (optional entry) famous for its vibrancy and detailed artwork which have survived the test of time. Appreciate the breathtaking reliefs that show the passage of the queens to the afterlife while strolling through this sacred valley, peeping into ancient beliefs and funerary traditions.
Then visit the Mortuary Temple of Queen Hatshepsut, an incredibly impressive architectural feature of ancient Egypt. The temple was built into the cliffs at Deir el-Bahari in honor of the most successful pharaoh of Egypt, a woman. The story of Hatshepsut's reign, its bold trade expeditions, and its miraculous conception are depicted on the temple walls. Walk through its terraces and lift your eyes up to the enormous colonnades before seeing the panorama into the desert landscape that surrounds you, just before coming to the Colossi of Memnon, two enormous statues that have stayed like two voiceless sentinels for more than 3,000 years.
Finish with a fascinating visit to the Mummification Museum, where you'll find out the secrets of the ancient Egyptian way of burying. Quite a small but very informative museum explains rituals and techniques in preparing bodies for the afterlife, with tools, canopic jars, and well-preserved mummies on display. Discover the notions of this revered and sanctified technique in Egyptian culture, and convert them into true meaning before a pure transfer back to your hotel. Expertly guided, smoothly transported, and with much historical input, this day tour would easily remain in memory as a defined adventure into the legacy of royalty.
