Your Hotel In Luxor or Nile Cruise |
This full-day tour departs from your Luxor hotel or Nile cruise ship and visits the Valley of the Queens, Medinet Habu Temple, Deir el-Medina, and the Ramesseum on Luxor’s West Bank. It is the only West Bank tour from Luxor built around the Ramesseum, Ramesses II’s memorial temple, as the closing headline site, with no Valley of the Kings stop and no Colossi of Memnon finale. The tour runs approximately 8 hours, returning you to your hotel or cruise ship the same day.
A private air-conditioned vehicle picks you up from your Luxor hotel or Nile cruise ship 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 continuing to Deir el-Medina, the ancient workers’ village, then closes at the Ramesseum, before the drive back to the hotel or cruise ship. If you’re interested in seeing how these West Bank sites connect with Luxor’s eastern monuments, a full-day tour to Luxor East and West banks provides a well-balanced overview of the city’s most important attractions.
No other West Bank tour from Luxor closes the day at the Ramesseum with Deir el-Medina’s workers’ village added ahead of it; travelers who want the Valley of the Kings instead will find it covered on a separate Luxor tour page. Travelers interested in extending their exploration may compare this experience with Luxor sightseeing tours for a broader view of ancient Thebes.
Only on this route
The only full day tour from Luxor that closes on the Ramesseum as its headline site combining Ramesses II's memorial temple with Medinet Habu Temple, Deir el-Medina, and the Valley of the Queens in a single day.


A private, air-conditioned vehicle picks you up in the morning from your Luxor hotel or Nile cruise ship for this Ramesseum, Habu Temple & Valley of Queens tour in Luxor, crossing the Nile to begin at the Valley of the Queens.

Start your exploration at the peaceful Valley of the Queens, where queens and royal family members were buried. Admire the artistic detail of the tombs and learn about royal life and burial traditions. For those curious about royal tombs of kings as well, the Valley of the Kings tour from Luxor provides a useful point of comparison.

Your guide leads you through the fortified gateway of Medinet Habu, the mortuary temple of Ramesses III, pointing out the battle reliefs carved across its towered entrance and inner courts depicting the pharaoh's campaign against the Sea Peoples.

You walk the narrow stone streets of Deir el-Medina, the purpose-built village where the artisans who carved the Valley of the Kings' royal tombs lived with their families across multiple generations.

End your sightseeing at the Ramesseum, the mortuary temple of Ramesses II. Explore its fallen colossi and artistic legacy of the New Kingdom. After completing your visits, you are driven back to your hotel or Nile cruise in comfort, marking the end of your Luxor West Bank day tour.
