The Valley of the Kings, also referred to as the Valley of the Gates of the Kings, is an Egyptian site where from the 16th to the 11th century BC, tombs were carved into rock to serve as burial places for pharaohs and influential nobles of the New Kingdom, spanning nearly 500 years.

The Temple of Edfu stands majestically on the western shores of the Nile in Edfu, Upper Egypt. Historically, the city was referred to in Koinē Greek as Ἀπόλλωνος πόλις during the Hellenistic period and in Latin as Apollonopolis Magna. This name honors the principal deity Horus, equated with Apollo in Greek interpretation.
Gebel el Silsila: 3 hours , Admission included
The Golden Chain of Mountains, an immortal site of historical significance, lies nestled between the Edfu Temple and the northern flank of the Kom Ombo Temple, just 65 km north of Aswan. This location served as a renowned quarry from the 18th Dynasty of the New Kingdom (1550 - 1070 BC), providing the precious stone for constructing some of antiquity's most legendary structures. Among these architectural marvels are the Karnak Temples Complex, Luxor Temple, Medinet Habu, Kom Ombo, and numerous other iconic landmarks of that era.

Aswan High Dam: 2 hours , Admission included
The Aswan Dam, particularly known since the 1960s as the Aswan High Dam, stands as the largest embankment dam globally.
