tombs from robbers.
This was why they began to dig their tombs deep inside a
Theban mountain that has a natural pyramid structure.
These tombs have the finest colored decorations with the
famous tomb of Tut Ankh Amun discovered by Howard Carter
in 1922 and may other royal tombs belonging to the kings
of the 18th and the 19th dynasty.

of Hatshepsut.
This temple was constructed by the 18th dynasty Queen
Hatshepsut (1473 – 1458 BC) as a unique structure rising
from the desert in the shape of imposing terraces. This
temple was used as a monastery in the Christian era.
This is why it is famous for the name "El Deir Al
Bahry", or the Western Monastery.
Your last stop of the day will be at the gigantic
Colossi of Memnon. These two 18 meters high statues are
the only remaining items of the mortuary temple of
