Next, marvel at the Temple of Queen Hatshepsut, a testament to the reign of the only female pharaoh in ancient Egypt. This stunning temple complex, built by Hatshepsut herself, showcases the architectural brilliance of the 18th Dynasty. As you continue your journey, pass by the iconic Colossi of Memnon, two colossal statues of Amenhotep III that stand as silent sentinels overlooking the Nile. After a morning of exploration, cross back to the East Bank for a delicious lunch at a local restaurant. Sated and refreshed, immerse yourself in the grandeur of the Karnak Temples, the largest ancient religious complex in the world.
