ルクソール終日ツアー:王家の谷、ハトシェプスト女王葬祭殿、メムノンの巨像、カルナックとルクソール神殿
ナイル両岸を一日で。午前はファラオの墓、午後は大神殿。

王として統治した女性のテラス神殿。デイル・エル・バハリの断崖の下に。
デイル・エル・バハリのハトシェプスト女王葬祭殿(紀元前約1479〜1458年、建築家センエンムト)は、テーベの山の断崖を背に3層の列柱テラスとなってそびえ、プントへの遠征のレリーフとハトホル礼拝堂があります。その道すがら、アメンホテプ3世の18mの像2体、メムノンの巨像が立っています。いずれも西岸のすべてのツアーに含まれ、熱気球が日の出にその上を通ります。
Hatshepsut ruled Egypt for twenty years as pharaoh in her own right, and her mortuary temple is unlike any other: three terraces of columns climbing the cliff at Deir el-Bahari next to the Middle Kingdom temple of Mentuhotep II, aligned on Karnak across the river. The upper terrace was restored by a Polish mission over fifty years.
The reliefs on the middle terrace tell the expedition she sent to the land of Punt (probably Eritrea or Somalia) for incense trees, with the fat queen of Punt and the fish of the Red Sea, and the story of her divine birth by Amun. The chapels of Hathor and Anubis keep their colour. Her successor Thutmose III chiselled out her name; the archaeologists put it back.
The Colossi of Memnon on the road are all that stands of the largest temple in Thebes, that of Amenhotep III. After an earthquake in 27 BC the northern statue "sang" at dawn and the Greeks and Romans came to hear it; Septimius Severus repaired it and the singing stopped.
ベストシーズン: 早朝、熱気球は06:00〜07:00に通ります。
