Discover a different side of Luxor away from the usual tourist route. This private experience takes you to three fascinating sites that reveal the lives, beliefs, and artistry of ancient Egypt: the beautifully decorated tombs of the Valley of the Queens, the ancient craftsmen’s village of Deir el-Medina, and the impressive Temple of Medinet Habu.

With a knowledgeable Egyptologist by your side, you’ll learn the stories behind the monuments and discover details that are easy to miss without expert guidance. The private setting also allows you to explore at a comfortable pace, ask questions, and enjoy a more personal experience.

It’s an ideal choice for travelers who want to go beyond the famous highlights and discover the lesser-known treasures that make Luxor one of the world’s greatest open-air museums.
