Visit Valley of the Queens
The Queens Valley lies about five kilometers south of the Kings Valley and was discovered in 1904. It was named (ta-nfrw) (The Land of Beauty), when it was devoted to burying the 19th and 20th Dynasty of Queens, princesses, and royal children.
The Valley of the Queens includes more than 90 graves, most incomplete. There are four graves open to the public. The tombs of Amenhershef, Titi, Khaemwaset, and Nefertari. The later tomb includes a supplementary fee of 1400 L.E.
We drive from the Valley of the Queens to the Valley of the Artisans or Deir El-Madinah.
Visit Deir El-Madinah
Around 4 km south of the Kings Valley lies the Valley of the Artisans or Deir El-Madinah.
The region was given the name Deir El-Madinah or (City Monastery) when its temple was converted to a monastery. The town had been devoted to the Kings’ Valley craftsmen and their families. The community is one of the few still extant ancient settlements. It has more than 74 houses and is divided into two major parts or suburbs.
Then we drive to our last stop in your tour the magnificent Temple of Habu.
Visit Habu Temple
Habu is a giant religious complex with a unique entrance called Magdol. Habu may be derived from the name of the legend architect of the 18th Dynasty, Ahmose Son of Habu. The principal feature of the complex is the Ramses III Temple. Ramses III was the 20th Dynasty’s second pharaoh. He ruled for 31 years over (1186-1155 BC).

“Review – Our Luxor Guide Mr. Khalaf.”
Review – Our Luxor Guide Mr. Khalaf. On the GoWithGuide website we sorted through various guides, reading profiles & reviews. We chose Mr. Essam & sent him a message. However, turns out Essam is a guide Team Leader & delegated our 1-day guide trip in Luxor to Mr. Khalaf. Mr. Khalaf was FANTASTIC. On this trip we had 3 guides in total. One guide on the 4-dayt cruise ship & another private GoWithGuide for 2=days in Giza. Of the 3 guides Mr. Khalaf was by far the best. His passionate, almost theatrical enthusiastic presentation brought each visit to life. And he was full of detail, which we liked. Often comparing situations to the Western history for comparison to help us with a greater understanding. We had done some prior homework, reading & watching Youtube about Egypt, but being there in person & having a local enthusiastic guide bring it all to life – was Fantastic. Mr. Khalaf even recommended a tomb of the Nobles, which we found interesting, as we had some extra time, as sadly the tomb of Nefertari in the Valley of the Queens was closed. I would recommend Mr. Khalaf 150%. Always on time, listened to our interests & read our level of comprehension VERY well as he adjusted the daily schedule. A really NICE GUY. Regards Bruce Australia – January 2025 trip

“A day around Luxor”
TLDR; A fantastic organization that delivered everything they promised. Mohammed our guide, and our driver were very professional. They met us at the airport and the tour started from our first meeting with Mohammed. A great day seeing everything we wanted to see and then being dropped off at our hotel at the end of the day. Thanks so much Mohammed. I would also like to thank the people behind the scenes who helped organize our Luxor trip. Everyone's communication was a credit to gowithguide
