Luxor West Bank, Valley of the Queens and Ramesseum

You will be picked up from your Luxor accommodation by your tour guide for a drive to the West Bank through the village of Qurna to visit the old necropolis in the Theban Mountains on the West Bank of Luxor.
Begin at the spectacular Valley of the Queens, where you will descend into the most famed tomb of all: the final resting place of Queen Nefertari.
You will also visit 3 additional royal tombs in the Valley of the Queens.
Next, visit the "Temple of a Million Years," a memorial temple commissioned by Ramses the Great.
