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.

1 hour 30 minutes
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.

1 hour 30 minutes
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.

Excellent tour

Published on Nov, 2024

The tour was well organised from start to finish with an excellent English speaking guide and a courteous Egyptian driver. Hamdyi, our guide was fantastic and very nowledgeable. We visited the Valley of the Queens, tombs of the Nobles and artisans village - all a very interesting experience and insight into the lives of ancient Egyptians. There was no hard sell at the alabaster shop. Hamdyi took us to a very good restaurant, Malkata House for a traditional lunch which we enjoyed a lot. Overall this was an excellent trip with our guide Hamdyi and we recommend to other travellers.

Excellent private tour of Luxor West Bank tombs.

Published on Feb, 2023

Yassin organized an excellent private tour of the West Bank tombs for two of us. We began with a boat ride across the Nile, where we were met by a driver with a clean comfortable car. Our Egyptologist guide Hamdi was wonderful—very knowledgeable and pleasant, with excellent English. Top notch organization—we highly recommend it.

Great tour!

An authentic team creating a seamless experience for your family

Published on Jan, 2023

I travelled with my wife and two young children. The team created a seamless experience for us and adapted the tour a few times given our circumstances and needs of our children. Mohammed has assembled a great team and network of services, most importantly the majority of them are from the villages surrounding the West Bank landmarks which means you get an authentic viewpoint. The integrity of the team is what stood out the most for me, they charged appropriately and were transparent throughout. Alaadin was our tour guide, he was excellent and down to earth. He had in-depth knowledge of ancient egypt and is well educated. Chef Hassan prepares all the meals which are authentic and difficult to find for a tourist, very friendly and willing to go the extra mile. High quality food. I would highly recommend this team for your Luxor experience, especially if you are with a young family requiring personalization in your tour.
