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.

About Tour Guide Ali S.

I am an English-speaking, licensed Egyptologist tour guide, born and raised in Luxor, with a true passion for sharing the treasures of my hometown and country with visitors from around the world. With years of experience working for leading international tour companies, I specialize in guiding travelers through Luxor and Upper Egypt, while also offering tours in Luxor, Aswan, Edfu, KomOmbo, Hurghada, Dendera, and Abydos, as well as other remarkable sites across Egypt.

I believe that the finest monuments and stories of Egypt are found here in Upper Egypt, and it is my joy to bring this history and culture to life. For me, a tour guide is not simply a narrator but a storyteller — like an actor delivering a powerful message — who inspires guests through creativity, knowledge, and enthusiasm.

I offer tailor-made trips for individuals, families, and groups, carefully designed to match your interests and budget. Whenever possible, I personally accompany my guests to ensure a memorable experience. If another guide is required, I recommend only trusted colleagues who share the same high standards of professionalism and expertise.

Guiding is not only my profession but also my passion: meeting new people, uncovering the wonders of Egyptian archaeology, showcasing authentic daily life, and creating unforgettable journeys through one of the world’s greatest civilizations.

Let me help you experience the real Egypt—safely, comfortably, and memorably. I look forward to being your guide!
