Tour Plan
Hotel Pickup
You will commence the day trip by getting picked up from the hotel and meeting with your tour guide, who will then take you to the main sightseeing places on the west bank of Luxor.
Valley of the Queens
The Valley of the Queens is a burial site for prominent queens and elite family members, located on the West Bank of Luxor, near the Valley of the Kings. Known as "TA-set-Neferu" or "The Place of Beauty," this site dates back to the New Kingdom of Egypt (1570-1050 BC). To deter theft, it was designed with over 75 tombs from the 18th, 19th, and 20th dynasties.
Habu Temple
While exploring Luxor's west bank, you can visit the temple of Djant, which is linked to the sky and the god Amun. Built during the New Kingdom (1570-1050 BC) by Hatshepsut and Tuthmosis III, it features a more significant memorial temple constructed by Ramses III. The complex mimics a Syrian Migdol stronghold with a massive defensive wall and a grand pavilion gate. Behind the entrance, a canal connects the temple to the Nile River.
Lunch Time
Later, you will be offered a fine and tasty lunch of local dishes in one of the eateries in Luxor.
Deir El-Medina
The Royal Workmen's tombs are situated on the western slopes of the Theban hills and were built during the 19th dynasty. Later, they served as burial sites for the children and grandchildren of the original occupants. Infants and children were interred in baskets, boxes, jars, and coffins on the lower slopes, while the upper sections contained the mummified bodies of adults from the 18th dynasty.
Ramesseum Temple
The Ramses II Funerary Temple built between 1279 and 1213 BC on the west bank of the Nile in Luxor, is renowned for its grandeur. Dedicated to Amun, it served as the burial site for Ramses the Great. A highlight of the temple is a towering statue of the pharaoh, standing 17 meters (57 feet) tall. The walls feature intricate designs commemorating significant events such as the Battle of Kadesh and the Festival of Min.
