Madinat Habu Temple:
In ancient times, Madinat Habu was known as Djanet, and it was believed to be the place where Amun first appeared. Hatshepsut and Tuthmosis III both constructed a temple dedicated to Amun here, and later, Rameses III built his larger memorial temple on the site.

Luxor - Ramesseum:
The Ramesseum is the funerary temple of Ramses II (1279–13 BC), located on the west bank of the Nile River at Thebes in Upper Egypt. The temple is renowned for its 57-foot (17-meter) seated statue of Ramses II, of which only fragments remain. It was dedicated to the god Amon and the deceased king. The walls of the Ramesseum, which are about half preserved, are adorned with reliefs, including scenes of the Battle of Kadesh, the Syrian wars, and the Festival of Min.
Valley of the Artisans (Deir el-Medina) - Deir El Madina
The main cemetery of the royal workmen at Deir el-Medina is located to the west of the village, on the slope of the Theban hills. Most of the tombs were constructed during the 19th dynasty and are notable for their decoration and size. By the 20th dynasty, these tombs became family tombs, where descendants of the original owners were buried. Few alterations were made, except for the addition of another subterranean burial chamber. The lower courses of the eastern hill of Qurnet Murai were used for the burials of babies and children. Over a hundred children were interred in common domestic pottery jars, amphorae, baskets, fish baskets, chests, boxes, or proper coffins. The poorest burials were those of stillborn babies, containing no jewelry or amulets, only small vessels filled with food for the afterlife. The graves of adults were situated higher up. Lunch will be provided during the tour.
