West and East Bank Archaeological Tour |

|
The Karnak Temples in Egypt are the world’s largest temple complex built over 1300 years
| Overview | |
|
Explore the tombs, temples and pyramids of ancient Egypt on a day trip to the West and East Banks of the river Nile. The Valley of the Kings is the last resting place of the Pharaohs of ancient Egypt. Closely is the Valley of the Queens, where the Pharaohs’ wives were buried in ancient times. These tombs were maintained by mortuary priests who performed the daily rituals. Another major attraction here is the Temple of Queen Hatshepsut, the only woman in Pharaonic history known to have ruled Egypt. See the Karnak Temples, the largest temple complex ever constructed which were built and extended over 13 centuries by many generations of ancient builders.
