Overview

Day Tour to Valley of the Queens, Habu & Ramesseum

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.
