EGYPT
Egypt is famous for its ancient civilization and some of the world’s most
famous monuments, including the Giza pyramid complex and its Great Sphinx.
Its ancient ruins, such as those of Memphis, Thebes, Karnak and the Valley of the
Kings, are a significant focus of archaeological study.
The artifacts from these sites are now displayed in major museums around the
world. Egypt is widely regarded as an important political and cultural nation of the
Middle East.
Luxor was Egypt’s capital during the first part of the Middle Kingdom and the New
Kingdom. The city was then not named either Luxor or Thebes, but Waset. The city
Luxor is located on the east bank of the Nile. Here you will find market streets, most
of what you need in shops, restaurants and bars in all colours
Sofitel Karnak Hotel Luxor
Located on the east bank of the majestic Nile in one of the most exciting &
intriguing settings, Sofitel Karnak lets you experience the timeless & exotic
beauty of Luxor, 6 km from the city center,18 km from the Luxor international
airport, 3 km from the glorious Karnak Temple. Savor the wide selection of fine
cuisines at our main restaurant, a-la-carte or BBQ restaurant.
Valley of Kings, Queens & Hatshepsut Temple
The Valley of the Kings, is a magnificent example of the
grandeur of architecture which was used for burial. This area
has many burial sites the most known tombs are King
Tutmosis I, Tutmosis III, Tut-Ankh-Amon, King Ramssess VI,
King Mrenptah and AmonhotepII. The Valley of the Queens
located on Luxor, west bank of the River Nile, is 1 .5 KMS
southwest of the Valley of the Kings.
This area is also known as Biban al Harim and Ta Set Neferu,
which means “seat of beauty”. It was built to house the
tombs of the queens, princes and Princess of the XVIII, XVIV,
and XX eras.
Maatkare Hatshepsut or Hatchepsut ( late 16th century BC – 1482 BC) was the fifth
Pharaoh of the 18th dynasty of Ancient Egypt. She is generally regarded by modern
Egyptologists as one of the most successful pharaohs, ruling longer than any female ruler
of an indigenous dynasty.
Hatshepsut was the daughter of Pharaoh Tuthmosis I and the wife of his successor
Tuthmosis II, who died before she bore a son. Rather than step aside for the secondary
wife who had borne him an heir, the plucky queen became co-regent of her stepson, the
young Tuthmosis III. Soon she assumed absolute power.
To legitmize her powerful position, Hatshepsut had herself depicted with a pharaoh’s kilt
and beard. She was a prolific builder, commissioning hundreds of construction projects
throughout both Upper and Lower Egypt. Under her reign, Egypt’s trade networks began
to be rebuilt, after their disruption during the Hyksos occupation of Egypt during the
Second Intermediate Period.
