Tour Highlights

Valley of the Queens

Arrive at the west bank of the Nile in Luxor. Afterward, visit the Valley of the Queens, the burial site for the mummies of Egypt’s most beautiful and powerful queens, along with important members of the royal family. Located on the West Bank of Luxor’s Theban Necropolis, near the Valley of the Kings, it is known as “TA-set-Neferu” (The Place of Beauty) from Egypt’s New Kingdom (1570-1050 BC). Much like the Valley of the Kings, it features an unimpressive exterior design to avoid attracting the attention of looters and tomb raiders. This site holds over 75 tombs from the 18th, 19th, and 20th dynasties.

Habu Temple

Next, you will explore the Habu Temple, also known as Djant. Here, the sky opens for the first appearance of the creator god Amun. Hatshepsut and Tuthmosis III constructed this temple during the New Kingdom (1570-1050 BC). Later, Ramses III built a larger memorial temple on the site.

The entire temple complex mimics a Syrian Migdol fortress, surrounded by a massive fortified enclosure wall. You will notice a unique gateway at the eastern entrance, known as the pavilion gate. Additionally, the temple features a canal with a harbor that connects it to the Nile River. After your exploration, you will enjoy lunch at a local restaurant in Luxor. Afterward, you will get ready to visit:

Deir El-Medina

Following lunch, head to Deir El-Medina, the cemetery of the royal workmen. Located west of the village on the slope of the Theban Hills, it was built during the 19th dynasty. This site became a family burial location for the descendants of the original owners. You will find several babies and children buried in baskets, boxes, pottery jars, and coffins in the lower courses of the eastern hill. Meanwhile, the ancient Egyptians stored the mummies of adults from the 18th dynasty on higher levels.

Ramesseum Temple

Next, visit the Ramesseum Temple, located on the west bank of the Nile in Luxor. This amazing funerary temple was dedicated to Ramses II (1279–1213 BC) and the creator god Amun. It serves as the immortal resting place of Ramses the Great. Inside the temple, you will see a 57-foot (17-meter) seated statue of Ramses II. The beautiful decorations on the walls of the Ramesseum depict the Battle of Kadesh, the Syrian Wars, and the Festival of Min.

Finally, you will return to your residence and conclude your day tour of Luxor’s West Bank.
