Pick-up from your Hotel or Nile Cruise in Luxor by a Licensed Tour guide. Then, you will be transferred by Private A/C Vehicle to the West Bank of the Nile, where you will visit Medinat Habu. It is an archaeological locality situated near the foot of the Theban Hills on the West Bank of the River Nile, opposite the modern city of Luxor, Egypt.

The main attraction in the area is the Mortuary Temple of Ramesses III, a 150m-long structure of orthodox design, closely resembling the mortuary temple of Ramesses II (the Ramesseum). Additionally, you will have the opportunity to visit other temples inside Habu Temple, such as the Temple of Amun dating to the 18th Dynasty, built by Queen Hatshepsut and Thutmose III. This temple has undergone many alterations and modifications over the years, spanning various dynasties and the Greco-Roman period.

Next, continue your day tour to Deir el-Medina, known as The Valley of the Worker. Deir el-Medina is an ancient Egyptian village that was home to the artisans who worked on the tombs in the Valley of the Kings during the 18th to 20th dynasties of the New Kingdom period (ca. 1550–1080 BC). The village is known for its well-preserved paintings.

Finally, end your day tour with a visit to the Valley of the Queens, a burial place for the wives of Pharaohs in ancient times. Also known as Ta-Set-Neferu, meaning “the place of the Children of the Pharaoh,” the valley housed the tombs of queens, princes, princesses, and nobility. The tombs were maintained by mortuary priests who performed daily rituals and provided offerings and prayers for the deceased. The Valley of the Queens is located near the better-known Valley of the Kings, on the west bank of the Nile across from Thebes (modern Luxor).

Please note that the kings of the 18th dynasty chose this barren area in the western hills for burial due to its relative isolation and proximity to the capital.
