Guided private day trip by donkey to see the highlights of the ancient West Bank monuments in Luxor.

You will be guided by a licensed Egyptologist tour guide and transported to all the sites.

Donkey tour

You will be picked up from your hotel in Luxor in the early morning to be taken to the West Bank. Try a new adventure and a different way to visit the Valley of the Kings by riding a donkey and use the same way the ancient Egyptian people used to reach the sites. This is a journey that will take you back in time. You can enjoy the view of the mountains while you ride your donkey through the green fields and villages of the West Bank until you reach the mountains. You will then cross the mountain to the Valley of the Kings. Then you will leave the donkey and drive by an air-conditioned car to the Temple of Ramses III (Medinet Habu) and the Colossi of Memnon.

After touring the sites you will be transferred back to your hotel.

First you will be transported to the Necropolis of Thebes, the Valley of the Kings on the West Bank of Luxor. This ancient necropolis is a must-see for Luxor travelers. It consists of tombs embedded in the mountain Thebes. Here, you visit 3 tombs of various dynasties. Your Egyptologist tour guide will be on hand to recommend and advise you as to which tombs to visit

The tomb of Ramesses III, designated as KV 11, is a complex system in the Valley of the Kings. It has been known since antiquity,the wonderful decorations include colourful painted sunken reliefs featuring the traditional ritual texts (Litany of Ra, Book of Gates etc) and Ramses before the gods. Unusual here are the secular scenes, in the small side rooms of the entrance corridor, showing foreign tributes, such as highly detailed pottery imported from the Aegean, the royal armoury, boats and, in the last of these side chambers, the blind harpists that gave the tomb one of its alternative names: ‘Tomb of the Harpers’

the Colossi of Memnon, the two largest ancient statues in Egypt, which date back to the era of King Amenhotep III.
