Day 08 : Visit West Bank Valley of the Kings and Hatchepsut temple

Pick up to visit Valley of the Kings The site for this royal burial ground was selected carefully. Its location on specifically the west side of the Nile is significant as well.

Ancient Egyptian cemeteries were generally situated on the west bank of the Nile for this reason.
Visit The celebrated temple of Hatshepsut (c.1473–1458 BC), the queen who became Pharaoh, is located here, in Deir al-Bahari, on the west bank of Luxor.
