Valley of the Nobles, Medinet Habu and Deir el-Medina

Discover some of the best-conserved funeral monuments of the New Kingdom on this tour, visiting the burial site of Ramses III and the necropolis of the nobles and artisans.

Itinerary

We will pick you up from your hotel in the morning and head to the west bank of Luxor, home to the necropolis of ancient Thebes.

Our first stop is Medinet Habu, featuring the burial temple of Ramses III, a significant religious monument with a 63-meter wide and 22-meter tall entrance, depicting the pharaoh punishing prisoners.

Next, we visit the Valley of the Nobles, which houses over 500 tombs of the Egyptian aristocracy. We will enter several tombs to view their well-preserved decorations, largely untouched by robbers compared to royal tombs.

Our final stop is Deir el-Medina, an Egyptian town established by Thutmose I for workers and artisans, inhabited for over 450 years by those who built and decorated royal tombs. Archaeological evidence makes it one of the most studied towns of the period.

The tour concludes with a return to your hotel or boat.
