- Valley of the Kings you’ll be accompanied to the valley of the kings, it’s consists of two valleys, East Valley (where the majority of the royal tombs and temples constructed ) and West Valley, valley of the kings contains almost 65 tombs and chambers, the place was suppose to be a burial of the major royal kings of the Egyptian new dynasty era, Your visit includes entry into 3 tombs, however if you wish to see either the tomb of Tutankhamun or Ramses 6, there is an additional ticket cost.

- The Colossi of Memnon Before lunch, you’ll visit the colossi of Memnon, which are two massive stone statues of Pharaoh Amenhotep The third. For the past 3400 years (since 1350 BC) they have stood in the Theban necropolis, across the River Nile as a guardian of the entrance to Amenhotep’s memorial temple, The statues are made from blocks of quartzite stone, there is a strange phenomenon at this site known as Vocal Memnon a mysterious vocalisations and sounds of the broken colossus are allegedly heard in the morning time, after sending our team to investigate the phenomena their theory suggest that it’s the sun somehow messing out with the pressure of the Huge statues and due to the heavy wight the statues emit a very strange noises !! this has long been an argument between archaeologists but no one knows for sure what’s going on.
