Afterwards, we will visit the Temple of Queen Hatshepsut, dedicated to the only woman who ruled Egypt, and interestingly, she wore a beard to appear like a pharaoh. Next, we will see the Deir el-Bahari temple and the impressive Colossi of Memnon. We continue our tour and reach the second most visited site by tourists in Egypt, the Karnak religious complex and its temples, which is one of the places with the greatest historical value in Egypt. This is due to the way they were built, starting with the central sanctuary and then the outer areas. Since the Luxor Temple is dedicated to the god Amun-Ra, god of creation and the sun, many pharaohs expanded the temple with new monuments to honor the main god of the Egyptian pantheon.
