Tombs of the Nobles

Let us show you the wonders of Egypt

Tombs of the Nobles

Please fill out the form

There is a substantial section for the nobles’ tombs in every important ancient Egyptian necropolis, such as Giza plateau, Saqqara cemetery, Amarna graves, Luxor cemeteries, and Aswan graves.

Almost everything we see now in Ancient Egypt is dedicated to the pharaonic royal family. Because of their immense scale and the fact that they are actually cut out of stone, the colossal construction projects that Egyptian kings commissioned throughout the civilization’s history have withstood the test of time far better than other ancient artifacts.

In the temples and royal tombs surrounding Luxor, victorious kings’ triumphant iconography and images of endless life after death might grow monotonous. A visit to the Tombs of the Nobles (or the Worker’s Village) could be a smart option if you’re feeling overwhelmed with temples.

The nobles’ tombs in Luxor still have magnificent murals that aren’t so much about leading the deceased to the afterlife as they are about depicting scenes from everyday Egyptian life.

Tomb of Menna

The Nobles’ Tombs stand out among the rest of the West Bank sites because they deviate from the norm. These groups of tombs cut into a rocky slope between the Ramesseum and Hatshepsut’s Temple are all devoted to administrators, governors, and other lesser aristocratic figures.

More modest portrayals of ordinary life and the duties that these officials performed may be found in these graves. The realistic representations of nature and everyday concerns are refreshing, and they give us a better idea of what life was like in ancient Egypt.

The Tomb of Sennofer, Tomb of Rekhmire, Tomb of Khonsu, Tomb of Benia, Tomb of Menna, and Tomb of Nakht, in particular, are home to some of Egypt’s most vibrant and vivacious tomb paintings.

Because of the modest number of tourists, the Nobles’ Tombs are not as clearly identified as the royal tombs and other major monuments on the West Bank. This makes viewing them without a guide a little more challenging, but it’s still a lovely break from the Valley of the Kings and other big temple complexes.

For each tomb you wish to see, you must purchase a separate ticket at the West Bank ticket office.

What People Say About Us
5/5

Thank you Egypt Fun Tours for a most memorable trip. I admit I didn’t do any of the planning (it was all done by my boyfriend) but as you can read in the reviews below Hani (the owner of Egypt Fun Tours) is superbly organized and accommodating with scheduling.

My boyfriend and I, and our dearest mutual friend, booked the 7Days-6Nights tour. In short time, we visited Cairo, Aswan, and Luxor sailing down the down the Nile, pit stopping to see key sites at these location – and so much more!!! We got to know the ancient and modern egypt in depth thanks to Hani’s impressive knowledge. He also enlightened us on the people and their beliefs and went as far as showing us what a typical life looks like. I cannot express the level of personalized service Hani offered us. He was flexible to adapt to our requirements and added sites to our schedule that was not part of the tour simply to ensure we were 100% satisfied with our experience in Egypt.

I went to Egypt practically blind-folded, not knowing what to expect, especially considering the time we had decided to go (December 2020 – we were the first group that Hani met with after months of having to put his tour agency on hold considering the pandemic) yet he managed to surpass all of our expectations. I felt so incredibly lucky for us to have stumbled on Hani. I would recommend Egypt Fun Tours to anyone and everyone. It was truly, HANDS DOWN, the best cultural experience I’ve ever had. You’ll be in the best of hands.

Nille cruise,Luxor and Aswan where amazing sites to see, specially when you have with you the best tour guide in Egypt .Hamada was absolutely fantastic, lots of information and some of them not spoken by others. This guy was not only a simple tour guide for us, he became a good friend also. Was a one in lifetime experience. Highly recommend Fun Tours. Really a great experience.

Hamada was incredible! So knowledgeable and kind. He had information about every item, street corner, and relic we looked at. Any questions we had, he had answers! He even made sure to give us tips while walking through the crowds so that’s we would feel more comfortable when being approached by vendors. Oh and the food?! He took us to the best places! Delicious food!! We tried Egyptian fried chicken, falafel for the first time, the best shawarma in the city (we love food). We even got to meet his beautiful wife and children and try some “French” Egyptian coffee in their home! Truly made friends for life!! We’ve promised to host him and the family when they travel to America for the first time! Such an incredible experience, and Hamada (and family) made it that much more memorable and amazing!

Excellent trip to historic sites with no one else around. We came to see Egypt while most places still had COVID19 fears. The staff at Egypt Fun Tours were professional, safe, and great to deal with. Very helpful, knowledgeable, and entertaining. I feel like I just got a a year of Egyptology in the last week and we had all the sites to ourselves due to COVID19. While people are shutting down and staying home you should feel safe to come explore with Egypt Fun Tours and have the place to yourself.
