Tour Overview
A private day tour to see the monuments of the ancient West Bank in Luxor, including the Valley of the Kings (Necropolis of Thebes), the Temple of Hatshepsut (Deir el Bahari), Valley of the Artisans (Deir el Medina) and the Temple of Medinat Habu.
Tour Description:
In the morning you will be picked up from the harbor or your hotel in central Luxor by an air-conditioned vehicle for a full guided trip of about 7 hours. First you will be transported to the Necropolis of Thebes (the Valley of the Kings) on the West Bank of Luxor. This ancient necropolis is a must-see for Luxor travelers and consists of tombs embedded in the mountain Thebes. Here you visit 3 tombs of various dynasties as your Egyptologist tour guide remains on hand to recommend and advise you as to which tombs to visit.
After visiting the tombs you will be transported to the Temple of Queen Hatshepsut: the only woman ever to reign over Egypt as pharaoh. Next, visit Valley of the Artisans (Deir el Medina) to see the houses of the workers who worked in the royal tombs. Admire colorful tombs before you see the Temple of Ramses III (Medinat Habu). Medinat Habu consists of a palace and a town enclosed within a defensive wall, and entry is through the High Gate, or Migdol, which resembles a citadel in appearance. Afterwards, you will be taken to see the Colossi of Memnon, the two largest ancient statues in Egypt, which date back to the era of King Amenhotep III.
At every site you will get information from your Egyptologist tour guide and will have free time to explore the ancient monuments by yourself. End the day by being transferred back to your hotel by an air-conditioned vehicle.
