Luxor Hidden West Bank Tour: Medinet Habu, Valley of the Queens and Deir el-Medina – Tour Details
For a second day on the West Bank
If you have already seen the Valley of the Kings and Hatshepsut, the West Bank still has a full day of sites with deep colour and few crowds.
Medinet Habu
The mortuary temple of Ramesses III, with huge carved battle scenes and some of the best-preserved painted reliefs in Luxor.
Valley of the Queens and Deir el-Medina
The tombs of royal wives and princes, and the village of the craftsmen who cut and painted the royal tombs, with their own small, vividly painted tombs.
The Ramesseum
The mortuary temple of Ramesses II and its fallen colossus, said to have inspired Shelley’s poem Ozymandias.
Good to know
The tomb of Nefertari in the Valley of the Queens needs a separate, costly ticket and is not always open. We confirm it with your quote.
