Day 01
Luxor West Bank Antiquities Tour
- Start your day tour in Luxor, where our driver will pick you up from your hotel or Nile cruise in Luxor. Join our professional tour guide to witness the real magnificence of ancient Egyptian attractions through visits to the following sites:
- The Valley of the Queens
- The Valley of the Queens, located in a neighboring wadi, or valley, to the necropolis of the Pharaohs, is home to the tombs of the royal women of the New Kingdom of Ancient Egypt. The wives of Pharaohs, princesses, and even a handful of princes were buried here from the 18th through the 20th dynasties.
- The Temple of Ramses III
- The temple, some 150 m (490 ft) long, is of orthodox design and closely resembles the Ramesseum. It is quite well preserved and surrounded by a massive mudbrick enclosure, which may have been fortified. The original entrance is through a fortified gatehouse, known as a migdol, resembling an Asiatic fortress.
- Deir El-Medina
- Deir El-Medina was the village of the workers who used to work at the archaeological site of the tombs of the pharaohs. It was home to many craftsmen and artisans of Thebes who were responsible for building and decorating the great royal tombs of the kings in both the Valley of the Kings and the Valley of the Queens.
- Ramesseum Temple
- Built over two millennia between around 2200 and 360 BCE, Karnak is a massive Ancient Egyptian temple complex that was one of the country's most important places of worship under the rule of Hatshepsut, Seti I, Ramesses II, and Ramesses III.
- After the tour, our representative will take you back to your hotel or Nile cruise in Luxor to finish your unforgettable day trip.
