Valley of the Nobles, Medinet Habu and Deir el-Medina
Itinerary
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, one of the city's most important religious monuments. Its entrance is 63 meters wide and 22 meters tall and bears a representation of the pharaoh himself punishing some prisoners.
The tour will continue to the Valley of the Nobles, where you can find more than 500 tombs belonging to the members of the Egyptian aristocracy. We'll take a look inside a number of the tombs to admire their decoration: having been less attractive to grave robbers, they tend to be much better preserved than the royal tombs.
Our final stop will be Deir el-Medina, an Egyptian town founded by Thutmose I as a home for the workers and artisans of Ancient Egypt. For over 450 years, this town was populated by the builders and decorators of the royal tombs, and you can still see archaeological evidence of this, making it one of the most studied towns from the period.
The tour then finishes back at your hotel or the boat where you're staying.
