Luxor West Bank Tour: Valley of the Kings and Hatshepsut – Tour Details
The city of the dead
The ancient Thebans buried their kings on the west bank of the Nile, where the sun sets. This tour covers its three best-known sites in a morning, before the midday heat.
Valley of the Kings
The standard ticket covers a set of royal tombs, chosen from those open on the day. Tutankhamun, Seti I and Ramesses VI need separate tickets, and your guide will help you decide which are worth it.
Temple of Hatshepsut
The terraced mortuary temple of Egypt’s best-known female pharaoh, set against the cliffs at Deir el Bahari, with reliefs of the expedition to the land of Punt.
Colossi of Memnon
The two seated statues of Amenhotep III that once guarded his mortuary temple, a short stop on the way back.
