Among these, 20 tombs belonging to royalty from the New Kingdom period (1570-1070 BC) house remarkable treasures and artifacts, many of which are displayed in the Egyptian Museum.
The magnificent and exceptionally well-preserved temple of Queen Hatshepsut (1479-1458 BC), constructed in 1479 BC, is renowned as the most extraordinary temple in the world. It is often referred to as the "Holy of Holies" because it was dedicated to worshipping Amun and preserving Queen Hatshepsut's legacy.
The Colossi of Memnon, one of the largest monuments in Luxor, was built by Amenhotep III (1386-1350 BCE) to stand before his temple in Cairo. It was later relocated to Luxor to serve as the eternal guardian of the city. Standing 18 meters tall, it gained fame during the Greco-Roman period for its mysterious vocal sounds.
