Overview

Explore Luxor’s West Bank and Valley of Queens

This full-day tour departs from your Luxor hotel and visits the Valley of the Queens, Medinet Habu Temple, and the Colossi of Memnon on Luxor’s West Bank. It is the only West Bank tour from Luxor that visits the Valley of the Queens first, ahead of Medinet Habu Temple, with the Colossi of Memnon as the closing stop. The tour runs approximately 6 hours, returning you to your hotel the same day. Travelers comparing different Private Luxor day trips often appreciate how this route focuses specifically on royal tombs and funerary beliefs rather than city temples or marketplaces.

A private air-conditioned vehicle picks up from your Luxor hotel in the morning and crosses the Nile to the West Bank, stopping first at the Valley of the Queens, then Medinet Habu Temple. The group breaks for lunch at a local restaurant before driving back toward the Nile crossing, stopping at the Colossi of Memnon, then returning to the hotel.

No other West Bank tour from Luxor opens with the Valley of the Queens and closes at the Colossi of Memnon in this combination; travelers who want the Valley of the Kings instead will find it covered on a separate Luxor tour page. If your interest leans toward how ancient Egyptians practiced religion and state rituals during daily life, a separate Luxor East Bank Tour provides that perspective through monumental temple complexes like Karnak and Luxor.

Note: Entry fees to the Valley of the Queens and the Tomb of Nefertiti are included.

Your Day at a Glance

Itinerary

A private air-conditioned vehicle picks you up from your Luxor hotel in the morning for this Luxor West Bank tour to the Valley of the Queens and Colossi of Memnon, crossing the Nile to begin at the Valley of the Queens.
Valley of the Queens
Painted ceilings and carved reliefs line the rock-cut tombs you enter first at the Valley of the Queens, the West Bank burial site for royal wives and children of Egypt's New Kingdom, including the Tomb of Nefertari. This Valley of the Queens tour places the site first, ahead of the day's other two stops.
Medinet Habu Temple
From the Valley of the Queens, your guide leads you to Medinet Habu Temple, the fortified mortuary temple of Ramesses III a short drive away. Its towered gateway and inner courts carry battle reliefs depicting Ramesses III's campaign against the Sea Peoples, among the best-preserved wall carvings on the West Bank.
Colossi of Memnon
After lunch at a local restaurant, the drive back toward the Nile crossing stops at the Colossi of Memnon, two 18-metre stone statues of Pharaoh Amenhotep III that have marked this West Bank approach for over 3,400 years. This roadside stop closes the day before the return to your Luxor hotel. Travelers interested in a deeper historical context often compare this visit with a dedicated Valley of the Kings tour from Luxor for further exploration.

This was a really enjoyable way to explore Luxor’s West Bank without feeling rushed. Our guide explained the history clearly and interestingly, and having a private car made everything comfortable. The whole experience was well organized from pickup to drop-off.

Sophie Martin

France

We had a fantastic day and especially appreciated having a private guide who could answer all our questions. The tombs were fascinating, and Medinet Habu was impressive. Everything ran smoothly, and the lunch stop was a welcome break during the day.

Daniel Cooper

United Kingdom

A very well-organized tour with a relaxed pace. I had already visited some of Luxor’s main sights, so seeing the Valley of the Queens was a great addition. Our Egyptologist was knowledgeable without overwhelming us with information, and the private transportation made the day very easy.

Laura Bianchi

Italy

The tour was exactly what we were looking for. We wanted to see a different side of the West Bank, and the experience felt personal rather than like a large group excursion. Our guide was excellent, the vehicle was comfortable, and everything was handled professionally.

Michael Anderson

United States

I really enjoyed this tour because it combined important historical sites with a comfortable private experience. The guide was patient and explained the details clearly, while the transportation and timing were well arranged. It was a memorable and stress-free day in Luxor.
