Itinerary
Morning Pick-up Your day begins with a comfortable air-conditioned transfer from your hotel in Luxor, where you’ll be greeted by your expert Egyptologist guide.
Start your exploration at Medinet Habu, the Mortuary Temple of Ramses III. This monumental complex features remarkably well-preserved carvings and colorful reliefs depicting epic battles, religious ceremonies, and the daily life of the time. Your guide will share stories about Ramses III’s reign and the significance of this lesser-visited but extraordinary temple.
Next, head to the Valley of the Nobles, home to the tombs of powerful courtiers and officials of the New Kingdom. Unlike the royal tombs in the Valley of the Kings, these are filled with intimate, detailed scenes of daily life, music, agriculture, and family gatherings, offering a more personal view of ancient Egyptian culture.
Enjoy a traditional Egyptian lunch at a local restaurant, featuring freshly prepared dishes that reflect authentic regional flavors.
Conclude your tour at Deir el-Medina, the village where tomb builders and artisans lived. Explore the well-planned streets, temples, and richly decorated tombs that reflect the artistic skill and daily life of these ancient workers.
Return Transfer After a full day of cultural discovery, you’ll be transferred back to your hotel in comfort.

We did a wonderful half day tour with Nelly, our amazing tour guide. She was very knowledgeable about all of our stops and was even able to customize the trip for us to see what we specifically wanted. We added on the Tomb of Seti I in the Valley of the Kings and highly recommend adding this on - the most impressive of all tombs in Valley of the Kings. Highly recommend booking with this company - great job, Nelly!

This tour is an absolute gem for those who want to spend a bit more time in Luxor, and to do things which are a bit more off the beaten track after ticking off the more famous sites. I had come across some of these sites online, but when we were driving around the West Bank the previous day, found myself rather intimidated by the prospect of trying to navigate around what looked like relatively deserted sites! Our tour guide, Nelly, led us through the day expertly. She was full of facts and history (which was perfect for us), particularly at Medinet Habu, and we greatly enjoyed her company. She was also exceptionally attentive, great at taking photos, and even picked us up a couple of bottles of water in the afternoon (without us asking). Each of the sites was excellent, and well worth visiting. Medinet Habu has colours to rival anything we saw elsewhere, and Deir el Madina and the Valley of Nobles were almost empty, and we felt really privileged to wander around them. We felt like proper explorers! This was a tremendous day - I would heartily recommend it!

We had an unforgettable day exploring the Valley of the Kings, Deir el-Medina, and the Temple of Ramses III thanks to our incredible guide Aladdin . His knowledge of ancient Egyptian history is outstanding, and he brought every site to life with fascinating stories, clear explanations, and great attention to detail. Aladin was friendly, patient, and perfectly paced the tour so we never felt rushed, while still seeing so much. He answered all our questions with enthusiasm and made sure everyone was comfortable and engaged throughout the day. If you’re looking for a guide who is passionate, professional, and genuinely cares about giving you an amazing experience, Aladdin is the one. Highly recommended — this tour was a highlight of our trip!
