Luxor West Bank and Drive Back to Hurghada

Valley of the Kings - After breakfast and checking out, start your unforgettable day by visiting the Valley of the Kings on the West Bank, where New Kingdom pharaohs carved their tombs into the mountains to hide their treasures and protect their mummies.

Temple of Hatshepsut at Deir el Bahari - Next, visit the mortuary temple of the famous Queen Hatshepsut at Deir el Bahari and discover her beautiful temple and intriguing story with her nephew.

Tombs of the Nobles - Luxor - Then, move to the Valley of the Nobles, which contains the tombs of nobles like Ramose, Senniffer, Menna, and over 400 other Theban nobles. These tombs, marked by numbers, feature beautifully carved scenes. Nestled in the foothills opposite the Ramesseum, there are more than 400 tombs.

Ramesseum (Mortuary Temple of Ramses II) - Proceed to the Ramesseum Temple, the memorial temple of Pharaoh Ramses II. Located in the Theban Necropolis in Upper Egypt on the west bank of the Nile, across from modern Luxor, the design of Ramesses’s mortuary temple follows the standard canons of New Kingdom temple architecture.

Valley of the Queens - Next, visit the Valley of the Queens, where the wives and sons of pharaohs were buried. Known in ancient times as Ta-Set-Neferu, meaning ‘the place of beauty,’ there are more than 90 known tombs, usually consisting of an entrance passage, a few short halls, and a sarcophagus chamber. You will visit three tombs of queens and their sons, such as the tombs of Amun-Khepshef, Khaem-Waset, and Queen Tyti, wife of King Ramses III. The most notable tombs are those of Nefertari, the favorite queen of Ramses II.

Habiba Hand Weaving - Then, move to Habiba for hand weaving, specializing in hand-woven scarves made of Egyptian cotton, linen, and wool. Local hand weavers also sell machine-made scarves and shawls in cotton and cotton blends. Located in a rural setting on the west bank of Luxor with views of the nobles’ tombs, women still work and make handmade cloth from pure cotton, giving you the experience of how they use hand-made machines.

Howard Carter House - Next, visit the domed mud-brick house where Howard Carter lived during his search for Tutankhamun’s tomb. Surrounded by a garden on a barren slope above the road from Deir Al Bahari to the Valley of the Kings, the house has been restored and decorated with pictures and tools from the excavations. An exact replica of Tutankhamun’s burial chamber has been constructed on the edge of the garden, along with an exhibition related to the discovery of the tomb.
