Valley of the Nobles, Medinet Habu & 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.

Tour Details

We'll pick you up from your hotel first thing in the morning, making our way to the west bank of Luxor, where you can find the necropolis of ancient Thebes.

Our first stop will be Medinet Habu, where the burial temple of Ramses III can be found. Its entrance is 63 meters wide and 22 meters tall, depicting the pharaoh himself with prisoners.

The tour will continue to the Valley of the Nobles, home to more than 500 tombs belonging to members of the Egyptian aristocracy. We will explore several tombs to admire their decoration, which is often better preserved than that of royal tombs due to lower rates of grave robbing.

Our final stop will be Deir el-Medina, a town founded by Thutmose I for the workers and artisans of Ancient Egypt, occupied for over 450 years. This site provides significant archaeological evidence and is one of the most studied towns from the period.

The tour concludes back at your hotel or the boat where you're staying.
