Itinerary
Your guide will pick you up early from your Luxor hotel in an air-conditioned vehicle to begin your journey to 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.
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.
Stop at the towering twin statues of Amenhotep III, still standing tall after thousands of years, guarding the Theban necropolis.
Enjoy a delicious lunch at a local restaurant overlooking the Nile, where you can relax. After lunch, you'll visit Medinet Habu, a temple built by order of King Ramses III to commemorate his legacy after his death.
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.
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.

Very good tour guide. Chill but knew her stuff and always gave us enough time to explore. Happy to customise the tour as we did not want to go to the valley of the workers or have lunch. The driver was good, his car was his pride and joy and did well in the congested traffic. Only issue was we selected the 7am tour, however the tour provider thought it was for 8am.

Sweet girl, but she only knew things for the Hatshepsut temple. We were mostly interested in the kings and queens valley and she had really no clue. Furthermore she even wanted to quit the tour earlier than descrived here (after 5.30h instead of 8h). Stay away from this.
Nervien and Ebtesam were great. I enjoyed my tour. 😊 Got to see a lot of interesting ancient Egyptian sites. I would recommend.

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.

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 !

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!

Excellent guide! He told us interesting stories, is very well prepared, takes advantage of the maps, photos and resources of the place to explain and facilitate understanding. She was watching and asked if everything was clear and was trying to make herself understood.
