Tetisheri was born in a plebeian family, the daughter of a judge named Tyenna and a housewife named Neferu, and was chosen by Senajtenra to be his main wife, giving her the title of Great Royal Wife. All this historical information will be relevant during Egypt budget tours.

Experience during Egypt Easter tours the history of Queen Tetisheri, This was quite unusual in Ancient Egypt. Senajtenra granted Tetisheri many privileges that previous queens had not had. She was the first queen to wear the crown of the vulture, indicating that the position of the chief wife had become an integral part of Pharaonic power. When her son Seqenenra rose against the Hyksos, Tetisheri aided and abetted in recruiting troops. Seqenenra died in battle, as did his successor, Kamose.

Her grandson Amosis succeeded in driving the Hyksos out of Egypt. Tetisheri was a wise adviser of three kings during the war against the Hyksos and the Egyptian people had her as the engine of the national resistance. During the warlike campaign of King Ahmose, Tetisheri governed together with her daughter Ahhotep, this one in quality of regent. It seems that Amosis was very close to his grandmother and when she was about 70 years old he commissioned several more projects in her honor. If you are a fan of Egyptian history and Culture, I suggest heading to Luxor day tours, there are many places you can enjoy such as the temple of Karnak. There you will attend the sound and light show. You can also head to Aswan day tours to try the Egypt Nile cruise, visiting many places such as Edfu temple, Abu Simbel, and more.
