Day Tour to Ramesseum Temple, Habu Temple, and Nobles Valley in Luxor

Departing from your Luxor hotel or Nile cruise, we will transport you by private air-conditioned vehicle to the western side of the Nile River.

Your first stop will be the magnificent Medinat Habu temple complex. This archaeological marvel, located near the base of the Theban Hills, is renowned for its well-preserved mortuary temple of Ramesses III. Explore the intricate details of the temple's architecture and admire the stunning reliefs depicting the pharaoh's life and achievements.

Within the Medinat Habu complex, you'll also have the opportunity to visit the Temple of Amun, dating back to the 18th Dynasty. This temple, originally built by Queen Hatshepsut and Thutmose III, has undergone numerous modifications over the centuries.

Our tour then takes you to Deir el-Medina, the ancient Egyptian village that housed the artisans responsible for creating the magnificent tombs in the Valley of the Kings. Step back in time as you explore the well-preserved homes, workshops, and tombs of these skilled craftsmen. The vibrant paintings and hieroglyphs found within these structures offer a glimpse into the daily lives of the people who lived here.

To conclude your day, we will visit the Valley of the Queens, a sacred burial ground for the wives of pharaohs and other members of the royal family. Discover the tombs of famous queens such as Nefertari and Hatshepsut, and marvel at the intricate artwork and hieroglyphs that adorn their walls.

As the sun begins to set, we will return you to your hotel in Luxor, leaving you with lasting memories of your journey through ancient Egypt's most iconic landmarks.
