Habu Temple :
The Madinet Habu complex, known as the city of Habu, features the impressive temple of Ramses III, along with Hatshepsut’s chapel and a votive chapel. The name Habu comes from the famous architect of the New Kingdom, Ahmos, son of Habu. You will enter the complex through a unique gateway called Magdol. As you walk towards Ramses III’s temple, Hatshepsut’s chapel will be on your right, and the votive chapel will be on your left. The magnificent temple of Ramses III was inspired by the Ramesseum temple of Ramses II. Ramses III, who ruled around 1186 BC for about 31 years, was the last great pharaoh of Egypt. He fought against the Libyans, Nubians, and Sea Peoples during his reign, and the temple's exterior walls depict these military campaigns. The temple still showcases many stunning and beautiful paintings.

Noble Tombs:  
Noble tombs are for important people like high-ranking officials, scribes, and influential priests. They can be found in various places on the west bank, including Shiekh Abdel Qurnat, El Khokha, El Asassif, and Qurnit Ma’ari. The government organizes these tombs into groups for tourists, so each ticket gives access to a specific set of tombs. The most famous ones that many people visit are Ra Mose, Sennefer, Rakhmire, Nakht, and Menna.

Deir al Madina:
Deir al Madina is the village where the tomb workers of the kings lived. It is one of the few remaining communities in Egypt. The people here were known as "the workers of the place of truth," referring to the Valley of Kings. During this wonderful tour, you will be amazed by the village's construction. It is one of the oldest settlements in history, featuring around seventy houses and a main street running through the center. The workers created their tombs close to their homes, and these tombs are beautiful, depicting daily life in ancient Egypt. The villagers included stone cutters, carpenters, painters, draftsmen, legal representatives, and police officers.
