Valley of The Queen

Explore the Valley of the Queens, one of Luxor’s most enchanting ancient sites. Known in ancient times as Ta-Set-Neferu—“The Place of Beauty”—this serene valley served as the eternal resting place for royal wives, princesses, and children of the New Kingdom pharaohs. Discover nearly 90 tombs carved into the cliffs, including the breathtaking Tomb of Queen Nefertari, beloved wife of Ramses II, whose brilliantly preserved colors and exquisite scenes reveal the artistry, devotion, and beliefs of ancient Egypt’s royal life and afterlife.

Valley of The workers (Deir El-Medina)

Discover the Valley of the Workers, also known as Deir el-Medina, the ancient village of the craftsmen who built and decorated the royal tombs in the Valley of the Kings and Queens. This well-preserved site offers a rare glimpse into the daily lives of ordinary Egyptians. Explore their small but beautifully painted tombs, temples, and houses, revealing their devotion, skill, and community life. Walk through the same narrow streets where the artisans once lived, prayed, and created the masterpieces of ancient Egypt.

Temple of Medinet Habu

Visit the magnificent Temple of Medinet Habu, built by Pharaoh Ramses III, one of the most impressive and best-preserved temples on Luxor’s West Bank. Famous for its towering walls and vividly colored reliefs, the temple depicts dramatic battle scenes, religious rituals, and royal ceremonies. Explore its grand pylons, courtyards, and chapels as your guide reveals stories of ancient power and devotion, offering a deep insight into Egypt’s New Kingdom splendor.

End of Tour with Opportunity for Pictures

At the end of the tour, enjoy some free time to take photos and capture the beauty of the temple at your own pace. Your guide will be happy to help you find the best spots for memorable pictures before we begin the return journey.
