Day 01
Luxor West Bank Tour to Qurna, Ramesseum and the Valley of the Nobles
- Get picked up by a professional guide from your Luxor hotel and travel by private air-conditioned transportation through picturesque villages to Al Qurna, the ancient town surrounded by temples and tombs.
- Marvel at the burial site of nobles and powerful courtiers of the pharaohs from the 1st and 2nd Dynasty, as well as the Old and New Kingdoms. So far, more than 400 tombs have been discovered, and excavation is still ongoing. You will descend into three tombs decorated with fine scenes of an everyday family's religious and palace life.
- Visit the mortuary temple of Ramses II, his "house of a million years," with the remains of a 19 m tall statue of Ramses the Great and remnants of the temple kitchens, schools, and stores. The temple walls depict his victory at the Battle of Kadesh and the war against the Hittites.
- Stop for photos at the recently re-erected statues of Amenhotep III.
- Return to your Luxor accommodation to conclude the tour.
