Tour Itinerary
On the morning of your day tour, your guide will meet you at your hotel, Nile cruise, or agreed meeting point in Luxor. Then, with your private expert driver, you will travel in a modern air-conditioned vehicle to the West Bank of Luxor to explore some of its most remarkable landmarks and attractions, including the following sights:
Valley of the Queens
The Valley of the Queens is located on Luxor’s west bank, and it contains around 80 tombs. It was discovered in 1904 and was shown to be the final resting place of members of the royal family from the 18th to the 20th dynasties of ancient Egypt, including the New Kingdom (1550 - 1070 BC), and the famous tomb of Nefertari, the wife of Pharaoh Ramses II. The most well-known tomb there is the one that belongs to Queen Nefertari, and it has the number KV21. It was constructed under the orders of King Ramses II, who was the wife of the queen, and he wanted to make it a truly fascinating tomb, and that is exactly what he commissioned.
Medinet Habu Temple
The Medinet Habu complex is a wonderful archaeological site located near the foot of the Theban Hills, opposite Luxor city. It was built during the New Kingdom period, specifically during the reign of Pharaoh Ramesses III (1186 - 1155 BC). The most notable site there is the mortuary Temple of Ramses III, which was the most important religious building during the New Kingdom. It is such a great source of the most interesting inscribed reliefs on its walls that depict the advent & the defeat of the sea people during King Ramses III’s reign. The best thing about it is that its walls are well-preserved, and the temple is surrounded by a massive mud-brick enclosure.
Lunch Meal
Then you will have a lunch break when you will get the chance to head to an oriental restaurant to enjoy the most delicious lunch meal, and then you will continue your tour with your private guide to visit:
Deir El-Medina
Deir El Medina has been the village of the workers who used to work in the archaeological site of the tombs of the pharaohs. The village was established during the reign of Pharaoh Thutmose I, and it was inhabited for over 400 years until the end of the New Kingdom period. It was the home to many highly skilled craftsmen, including painters, sculptors, and builders of Thebes who were responsible for building and decorating the great royal tombs of the kings in both the Valleys of the Kings & the Queens. The discovery of such a remarkable site has revealed a huge quantity of ancient artifacts and lots of texts written on papyrus, and such written texts have assisted a lot in understanding the daily life of the ancient Egyptians and their major customs and traditions.
Ramesseum Temple
This funerary temple was dedicated to pharaoh Ramses II, and the most interesting thing about that time is its seated statue of the pharaoh himself; the whole site was actually dedicated to the god Amun. Inside the temple, you can explore its partially preserved walls that include some decorated reliefs and many scenes that depict the great Battle of Kadesh, which is characterized by the first peace treaty in the world. Some other scenes depict the Festival of Min and the Syrian wars. One of the most famous features of the Ramesseum Temple is the "Ozymandias Colossus". The temple features intricate reliefs and carvings depicting scenes from the life and reign of Ramesses II.
