Private Full Day to Discover The West Bank in Luxor

The Valley Of The Kings

At 7:00 am, a licensed tour guide from Dr. Mo Tours will pick you up from your hotel or Nile cruise in Luxor and drive you to the West Bank, where you will visit the Valley of the Monarchs, a magnificent architectural structure that was used for burial and is home to many kings.

The tombs of King Tutmosis I, King Tutmosis III, Tut-Ankh-Amon, King Ramses VI, King Mrenptah, and Amenhotep II are the ones that are well known.

Hatshepsut Temple

The only pharaonic woman to rule ancient Egypt, Queen Hatshepsut built the Temple of Queen Hatshepsut, also known as El Dir El Bahari. She was the daughter of Thutmosis I and ruled Egypt for nearly 20 years during the 18th Dynasty (about 1490–1469 B.C.).

Habu Temple

Visit Medinat Habu, which is an archaeological site located on the West Bank of the River Nile across from the contemporary Egyptian city of Luxor. It is close to the foot of the Theban Hills.

The Valley Of The Workers

Continue your day tour to Deir el-Medina, also known as The Valley of the Worker, an ancient Egyptian village where the artisans who worked on the tombs in the Valley of the Kings during the 18th to 20th dynasties of the New Kingdom period (roughly 1550-1080 BC) resided. This is why the paintings on the tombs look so new.

The Valley of The Queens

then pay a visit to the Valley of the Queens, where the ancient wives of the Pharaohs were interred. Because many princes and princesses were interred there with various nobility members, it was referred to in antiquity as Ta-Set-Neferu, or “the site of the Children of the Pharaoh,” along with the queens of the 18th, 19th, and 20th dynasties (1550–1070 BCE).

The Colossi of Memnon

Continue your day’s sightseeing to The Colossi of Memnon, which are the remnants of Amenhotep III’s mortuary temple.

Transfer you back to your hotel or Luxor Nile Cruise at the end.
