Luxor hot air balloon ride
Deir El-Bahari in rear - a complex of mortuary temples and tombs located on the west bank of the Nile, opposite the city of Luxor, Egypt. This is a part of the Theban Necropolis. The first monument built at the site was the mortuary temple of Mentuhotep II of the Eleventh Dynasty during the 21st century BCE. During the Eighteenth Dynasty, Amenhotep I and Hatshepsut also built extensively. The front area is El-Assasif, another necropolis. As of 2019 29 colored coffins belonging to senior statesmen and middle class individuals in the 18th, 25th and 26th ancient Egyptian dynasties and two small colored sarcophaguses likely belonging to two children were buried in the ancient cemetery.
