The next visit of the day will be to the Temple of Deir El Bahari, constructed during the reign of the 18th dynasty by Queen Hatshepsut, one of the greatest rulers of Egypt. Our last visit will be to the Colossi of Memnon; these two huge statues are the only remaining elements of the great funerary temple of Amenhotep III, constructed in 1350 BC, and have since become a landmark of Luxor.

We will then visit the well-known Luxor Temple, another startling temple that was established around the 14th century BC, and the construction continued for many years afterward by Ramses II, the well-known Queen Hatshepsut, and many other Pharaohs from different periods.
