Overview

Discover the beauty of the West Bank of Luxor, the favored site for royal burials since 2100 BC. The pharaohs chose a remote and isolated site to protect their treasures and build their tombs, carving them into the mountain.

During the first part of the day, you will see the most important archaeological sites: the Valley of the Kings, the Valley of the Queens, and the Funerary Temple of Hatshepsut.

At the end of the visit, your guide will take you to eat at a delicious typical restaurant, where you can enjoy local dishes, perhaps accompanied by fresh tropical juice. After a delicious lunch, you will have the opportunity to take a ride on our beautiful camels.

The fourth stop is the Medinet Habu Temple. On the return journey to Luxor you will stop at the Village of the Artists, where you will learn how the wonderful Egyptian papyri are created, admire ancient alabaster processing techniques, and observe the expert hands of Egyptian seamstresses. You can combine West and East Banks.

What to expect

  1. Valley of The Kings
    2h · Admission ticket not included
    The first stop is Luxor's most important archaeological site, the Valley of the Kings, the burial site of the rulers of Egypt's New Kingdom.

    You will have the opportunity to go inside the tombs, among the most famous being those of Tutankhamun, Ramses II, Tuthmosis III and Seti I, and admire what remains of the marvelous paintings, some of which still preserve the intense original colors.

  2. Valle Delle Regine
    1h · Admission ticket not included
    The second stop is the less famous but equally important Valley of the Queens, a sun-beaten rocky gorge dotted with stone entrances leading inside the tombs.

    The intent was to hide the entrance to the tombs so as to preserve them from looters. Princes, princesses and other members of the royal family were also buried here.

    The next destination is the Funerary Temple of Hatshepsut, dedicated to the Sun god Amun Ra and built by one of the very few women in ancient Egyptian history to hold the office of the Pharaoh.

    You will be immediately amazed by the beauty of the landscape in the background of the Temple, the rocky walls reflecting the strength of the queen to whom it is dedicated, a ruler who remained in power thanks to her cunning and her righteous governance.

  5. Temple of Medinat Habu
    2h · Admission ticket not included
