Day 01
West Bank Archaeological Sites and Nile Sailboat Ride
- During this tour, you will explore 3 different archaeological sites located on the west bank of Luxor:
- Visit the Valley of the Artisans, also known as Deir el-Medina, famous for the ruins of the artists and artisans who lived here and worked on the tombs of the nearby valleys. This place gives insight into the community of artists, their living quarters, artwork, and tombs. Visit 3 tombs belonging to the artists - Inherka's tomb, Sennedjem's, and Peshedu's - painted in breathtaking colours and designs.
- Then, head to the Valley of the Nobles, a burial place for high officials such as ministers, army leaders, and royal scribes, with more than 400 tombs belonging to noblemen. Only a few tombs are open to the public, and you can visit 3 tombs per ticket.
- Visit Medinet Habu Temple, one of the best temples to visit in Luxor, known for its size and artistic and architectural importance. The temple was built around 1500 B.C. by Ramses II. You can see carvings of religious scenes from Ramses' wars against the Libyans, Nubians, and the Sea People.
- Board a sailboat on the Nile River and relax.
