The valley is located in the center of the Theban Necropolis, across from Thebes (modern-day Luxor), on the west bank of the Nile.

There are two valleys in the wadi: the East Valley, which is where most of the royal tombs are located, and the West Valley (Valley of the Monkeys).

The valley is currently known to have 63 tombs and chambers with the discovery of a new chamber in 2005 and the discovery of two additional tomb entrances in 2008.

Then we’ll explore Deir al-Bahari, and its mortuary temple of Queen Hatshepsut of Egypt’s Eighteenth Dynasty is known as the Hatshepsut funerary temple.

Its three enormous terraces protrude into the Deir el-Bahari cliffs from above the desert plain.

The same massif that is topped by El Qurn, a pyramid for her burial complex, contains her tomb, KV20.

One kilometer (0.62 miles) to the east of the complex, at the edge of the desert, is the associated valley temple, which is connected to it by a causeway. The terraced temple was built between Hatshepsut’s seventh and twentieth years in power.

Then we’ll move to The Mortuary Temple of Amenhotep III, the biggest temple in the Theban Necropolis, which is surrounded by two enormous stone statues of the Pharaoh Amenhotep III known as the Colossi of Memnon (Arabic: el-Colossat or es-Salamat). They have existed since 1350 BC, and early modern visitors, Egyptologists, and the Greeks and Romans were all familiar with them. 107 Greek and Latin inscriptions from the Roman Empire, dating to between AD 20 and 250, are found on the sculptures.

Many of these inscriptions on the northernmost statue pertain to the Greek mythological ruler Memnon, whom the statue was then mistakenly believed to represent.
