Two short figures are carved on the front of the throne, along with his legs: his wife Tiye and his mother Death M and Ya. The side panels depict the Nile god Habi. The statues were made from blocks of quartzite sandstone that were quarried from Jabal al-Ahmar (near present-day Cairo) and transported 675 km (420 mi) overland to Thebes (Luxor).

The temple consists of three successive floors with open terraces. The temple was built of limestone, and in front of the second floor columns were erected limestone statues of the god Osiris and Queen Hatshepsut in a beautiful distribution.

Overall this was a great day & we had the opportunity to see sights we wouldn’t tackle on our own.

The balloon flight portion of the experience seemed a little disorganised… we booked a 4am tour, but didn’t get into the air until 7:30am due to weather. This is obviously out of the operator’s control, but there was no communication at all… we spent a lot of time sitting with no idea about what was going on. The wait was well worth it, as the views were stunning.

The tour portion was great. Our guide gave us brief bursts of history and let us roam free. If you’re looking for detailed history with a guide who enters the tombs with you, this isn’t the tour for you… but we were very happy to explore on our own. The lunch was delicious, and the guide was very friendly with good English.

A day well spent, with a lots of sites packed in!

Thank you Captain Amr, our flight was amazing. From the moment we lifted from the ground until you gently touched the basket back down after the flight I felt completely safe. Flying high above the Temples and excavation sites you became our guide. Thank you for such a beautiful experience.

Salma was very courteous and personable. She gave us insight into navigating our way through the many vendors and what to avoid, which was very helpful. She gave us time to take photos and see everything.
