Highlights
- Valley of the Kings - Our Tour Guide will collect you from your hotel or Nile Cruise in Luxor in an air-conditioned vehicle to begin your exploration of the West Bank. Your first stop will be the renowned Valley of the Kings, home to 63 tombs. These royal tombs are adorned with Egyptian mythology, reflecting the beliefs of that era. While many kings are interred in the valley, the most famous is undoubtedly King Tutankhamun.
- Temple of Hatshepsut at Deir el Bahari - Next, continue your journey to the magnificent Temple of Queen Hatshepsut, also known as Deir el-Bahari. Queen Hatshepsut, whose name means “Foremost of Noble Ladies,” is believed to have established the first trading routes.
- Colossi of Memnon - Proceed to the Colossi of Memnon, where you will encounter two massive twin statues carved from blocks of quartzite sandstone
- Temple of Medinat Habu - After lunch, you’ll visit Medinet Habu, a temple built by order of King Ramses III to commemorate his legacy after his death.
- Valley of the Artisans (Deir el-Medina) - Following this, you’ll visit the remains of the ancient Workmen’s Village in Deir el-Medina. This village was home to the artists, craftsmen, and workers who constructed and decorated the royal tombs in the Valley of the Kings.
- Valley of the Queens - Next, you’ll visit the magnificent Valley of the Queens, where the tomb of the Great Queen Nefertari is located. The day concludes with a visit to the Tombs of the Nobles, which include over 400 tombs belonging to nobles. These royal tombs are adorned with cryptic passages from the Book of the Dead, meant to guide them through the afterlife. After these incredible visits, you’ll be transferred back to your hotel or Nile Cruise in Luxor.

Great day in Luxor - Samah was an amazing guide and such a trooper to take us all around in the heat of the day! We were so happy everyone was willing to start the tour early to try and get a jump on the heat. Samah was very knowledgeable and was very impressed my son had planned to not only go to the Valley of the Kings but also Deir-el-medina, Hatshepsut Temple, Tombs of the nobles and Medinet Habu. Samah was very knowledgeable and we so enjoyed our day with her.

Perfect temples visits with perfect guide ! - We had a perfect tour day with Youssef today, during which we got to see: the valley of kings, temple of Hatshepsut, Habu temple, Deir el Medina and valley of queens.
Communication for organisation before the tour was very smooth and easy, and a driver was following us the whole time during the day to get to our different visits.
Youssef was by far the best guide we could ask for (even other tourists were curious of listening his clear and so interesting explanations). He is a passionate man with a perfect English prononciation, and takes the time like no one else to tell all of Egyptian stories and answer to all questions. He also suggested multiple time to take pictures of us in front of the monuments and left us some free time each time to enjoy the places. We really enjoyed this organisation and were so happy to see that many things, without feeling the tiredness of a long day !
Finally, he made sure at all time that we were having the best experience and that all our desires were accomplished ! We can only recommend this tour journey !

Great Tour! Great Way To See Both Valleys and More! - My tour on April 20 was pretty good! I was, let's say, "tombed-out" with all the tombs I got to see, like King Tut's! Such a great experience! I couldn't have asked for anything more!
