West Bank temples
Across the Nile to the city of the dead. We focus on the temples, where I can guide you all the way through: Hatshepsut’s terraces under the cliffs, the colour at Medinet Habu, and the Colossi of Memnon.
The route
Colossi of Memnon
Two seated statues of Amenhotep III, all that stands of his vast mortuary temple.
Temple of Hatshepsut, Deir el-Bahari
Three terraces cut against the cliffs. The expedition to Punt and the chapel of Hathor.
Medinet Habu
The temple of Ramesses III, with some of the best-preserved colour in Luxor and the Sea Peoples battle reliefs.
Valley of the Kings (optional)
Guides are not allowed to talk inside the tombs. I explain each tomb before you go in, then wait for you outside.
