Valley of the Nobles (Tombs of the Nobles)

What an experience… please make time and check out Ramesseum, Habu temple and the valley of the nobles. Habu temple is a one of a kind location to check out. It shows more details about Ramesses in his daily life. Also you can see how the temple was hellenized and appropriated for the Byzantines. The Valley of the Nobles tombs sell themselves with their well preserved wall paintings of their daily lives in the past.

This trip was the missing part of our vacation to Egypt. The temples were really really amazing especially the Valley of the Nobles for me, I would like to thank Aviola our guide for her wonderful explanation of these archaeological areas and the driver for being always on time. I would definitely recommend this trip to anyone

The tour was very well organized with a visit to the most important places and a lunch in an excellent restaurant

Great half day tour to very interesting sites - my trip to Luxor would have felt incomplete without seeing these places. My guide Mona was really knowledgeable and friendly.

Excellent tour with a fantastic expert guide and cheap price..... Thank you very much I really enjoyed that day.

Hatem was a great guide, well-versed in Egyptian history of the new kingdom. He knew I was interested in history so He took his time to dive me in details about hieroglyphics, hidden symbols and special places in the Rameses III temple and Tombs of the nobleman. Deir-el-medina is worth the visit ! I recommend add to your tour the visit to Seti I temple, It's empty of tourist and worth it if you're interested in ancient history. On the other hand, There's a visit to an stone-workers shop where you can find and buy handcrafted work. If it's your first time negotiating something in Egypt I suggest ask your guide to help you bargain. as a personal tip always ask first for the price and bargain at least 50%. Note: Remember the tomb guardians may ask you for tips if they take you pictures. :) , do it ! They are really good photographers :) and I was alone in the funerary chambers so I strongly recommend it since your guide is not allow it to walk with you in. Enjoy! :)

Our tour guide Mahmoud and driver Chesley were wonderful. Mahmoud was through in explaining each site. We accessed the West Bank of the Nile River, by crossing the recent bridge built in 1992 to get to the Valley of the Nobles. There we saw the Colossi of Menon for which we were told the nile River use to reach the entrance. The two statues were colossal and were bigger than human life could conceive, similar to how the Kings perceived themselves at that time. As we continued our journey we reached the tomb of Nakht and Menna. who lived during the 18th Dynasty. As a noble person, Mean was responsible for surveying the fields and recording the inventory of the harvest. Mahmoud was detailed in his explanation making sure that we had an understanding of what we were seeing. But was was more amazing was the art work and literature that was on the wall as a result of the drawings and documentation of the ancient Egyptians. No story book can describe it to you, you must come and witness it for yourself. As you stand in the Valley of the Nobles, which is dry and desert land and look our towards the nile you see the lushness of the land before you. Where the Nile becomes the source for which the farmland can be cultivated. This tour is amazing and it would require so much more space to capture all that we saw and felt, but need less to say Habu Temple and Rameseeum Temple were just as amazing and our tour guide Mahmoud was top-notch!!! Just be prepared if you travel in the Summer, the weather is HOT!!!

One of the best tours of my life. The tour was literally really amazing, the tour guide was incredible and has a lot of information, the driver was friendly and always on time. Don't think twice to book! Definitely recommend!

The guide Mony was beyond excellent in knowledge and insight regarding the historical city of Luxor. Definitely recommend this tour
