Highlights
  • Valley of the Nobles - In the morning your friendly guide and driver will pick you up from your hotel in Luxor by an air-conditioned vehicle to first enjoy a fully guided tour to the Valley of the Nobles. Although very small in size, these tombs include some of the most beautiful paintings of the Theban tombs. The preservation of color remains astounding. Here, you will visit the two most beautiful tombs: The Tomb of Nakht and the Tomb of Menna.
  • Valley of the Artisans (Deir el-Medina) - Second, you will visit the Valley of the Workers (Deir el-Medina). This is the place where the workmen of the royal tombs used to live. Here you will see the Temple of Deir el-Medina, which was dedicated to the goddess Hathor. This is the only temple in all of Egypt where you can admire carvings of the Final Judgement. At every site, you will get information from your Egyptologist tour guide and you will get free time to explore the ancient monuments by yourself.

Interesting places, excellent guide! - This was one of the best tours we did while in Luxor. Our tour guide, Karam, was very knowledgeable and charismatic - we learned a lot! Many tour groups overlook these places, but they really shouldn't be missed. Thank you to Karam for making the day so enjoyable!

To visit absolutely - Magnificent valley, beautiful tombs of viziers, astronomers, tax collectors and other greats of the pharaonic world. It's a steep climb so wear good shoes. Going down, just opposite the tomb of Ramose, go visit the only true artisan of Luxor. He was born in this valley and still has a workshop after the inhabitants were expelled. He is an outstanding copyist whose works are worthy of a museum. Nothing to do with the little horrors of the souk. A must see.
