West Bank Day trip

Explore the West Bank of ancient Thebes; visit the mighty Medinet Habu, where the eight ‘primordial’ were born; this is temple is the Beethoven’s Fifth Symphony of Egyptian architecture. We will also visit the valley of the Kings with its Royal Tombs.

 

Afterwards we visit Hatshipsuite temple which in ancient times the temple was called Djeser-djeseru, meaning the ‘sacred of sacred’. It was undoubtedly influenced by the style of the earlier temple at Deir el-Bahri, but Hatshepsut’s construction surpassed anything which had been built before both in its architecture and its beautiful carved reliefs.

 

on your way back you stop at the Colossi of Memnon. Lunch will be served in a typical restaurant where you can experience local Egyptian dishes.
