Itinerary

1. Tombs of the Nobles
The Tombs of the Nobles on the West Bank of Luxor are the burial grounds of some of the mighty courtiers and persons of the ancient city. Nestled in the foothills opposite the Ramesseum are more than 400 tombs of Nobles from the 6th Dynasty to the Greco-Roman period . These tombs are some of the least visited attractions on the West Bank but are definitely worth a visit, you will find beautifully decorated tombs with enchanting colors.
Duration: 90 mins
2. Valley of the Artisans (Deir el-Medina)
Deir el-Medina, also called Valley of the Artisans, on Luxor's West Bank is an ancient Egyptian workers' village that was home to the craftsmen who worked the tombs in the Valley of the Kings. During the 18th to 20th Dynasty of the New Kingdom of Egypt the workmen who lived in Deir el Medina included the stonemasons who excavated the royal tombs in the limestone hills and cliffs of the Valley of the Kings and the Valley of the Queens, as well as the sculptors, drafters and painters who decorated the excavated tombs. . The settlement was founded by Amenhotep I (circa 1541-1520 BCE) and was occupied during the 19th and 20th Dynasty. The small temple in Deir el-Medina is a Ptolemaic temple. It was dedicated to goddesses Hathor and Maat.
Duration: 90 mins
3. Valle Delle Regine
The Valley of the Queens is, just like the Valley of the Kings, a burial place of the New Kingdom from ancient Egypt. In the Valley of the Queens there were mainly queens and royal children buried but also nobles from the New Kingdom had a part for their tombs here. Because the rock structure in the Valley of the Queens is very grainy, they used a different way of working than in the Valley of the Kings, they used lime paste (muna) to smear on the walls. There are more than 90 known tombs, usually consisting of an entrance passage, a few short halls, and a sarcophagus chamber. The famous tomb of Nefertari can also be visited with the purchase of an extra ticket.
Duration: 120 mins
4. Malkata House - boutique hotel & restaurant
Enjoy an authentic Egyptian lunch at Malkata House with views of the desert and Valley of the Queens
Duration: 60 mins
