Half Day Tour to the Valley of Queens and Nobles: A Glimpse into Ancient Egypt

Embark on a half-day adventure to explore the fascinating Valley of Queens and Nobles, located on the West Bank of Luxor. This tour offers a unique opportunity to delve into the lives of the ancient Egyptians and witness their intricate burial practices.

Itinerary

In the early morning, our representative will pick you up from your Luxor hotel or Nile Cruise. Then you will be transferred to the west bank.

First, you will visit the Valley of the Queens, contains at least 75 tombs that belonged to queens of the 19th and 20th dynasties as well as to other members of the royal families, including princesses and the Ramesside princes. Four of the tombs are open for viewing. The most famous of these, the tomb of Nefertari, was only reopened to the public in late 2016. The other tombs are those of Titi, Khaemwaset, and Amunherkhepshef.

Then you will visit the Valley of Nobles, about 400 tombs of senior officials (ministers, Governors), military and representatives of the clergy. The decor of these tombs, unlike those of kings, does not include reliefs; but mostly paintings. Thanks to all these details, everyday life at this time tells us about the quality and way of life of the Egyptians more than 3000 years ago.

You will enjoy your launch at one of the local houses in Luxor. You will have homemade food and drink tea.
