Professional Valley of the Kings Tour From Cairo Landmark Introduction

Your Valley of the Kings tour from Cairo begins at the legendary Valley of the Kings, a sun-blasted gorge that hides 63 of the most important royal tombs in history. This site served as the primary burial chamber for the pharaohs of the New Kingdom for nearly 500 years and gained worldwide fame with Howard Carter’s 1922 discovery of Tutankhamun’s treasure-filled tomb. The journey continues to the Temple of Hatshepsut, a stunning multi-tiered masterpiece nestled against the limestone cliffs of Deir el-Bahari. Dedicated to Egypt’s only female pharaoh, its unique layout mirrors the ambition of its creator. You will also witness the Colossi of Memnon, the last standing remnants of Amenhotep III's vanished mortuary temple.
