    Temple of Medinat Habu

    Tour guide will pick you up from your hotel or Nile cruise in Luxor and transfer you via private air-conditioned vehicle to the West Bank of the Nile, where you'll visit the archaeological site of Medinat Habu. This site is located at the base of the Theban Hills on the West Bank of the Nile, across from modern-day Luxor, Egypt. While there are other structures in the area, the site is most notably associated with the Mortuary Temple of Ramesses III, which is approximately 150 meters in length and follows an orthodox design closely resembling that of the mortuary temple of Ramesses II (the Ramesseum). Additionally, you'll have the opportunity to visit other temples located within the Habu Temple, such as the Temple of Amun which dates back to the 18th Dynasty and was built by Queen Hatshepsut and Thutmose III. This temple has undergone several modifications and alterations over the years, including during the 20th, 25th, 26th, 29th, and 30th Dynasties.

    Valley of the Artisans (Deir el-Medina)

    Next on your day tour, you'll visit Deir el Medina, also known as the Valley of the Workers. This ancient Egyptian village was home to the skilled artisans who worked on the tombs located in the Valley of the Kings during the New Kingdom period, spanning from the 18th to the 20th dynasties (approximately 1550–1080 BC). The village is adorned with paintings that appear to be remarkably fresh, even to this day.
