Guided tour of Valley of the Nobles, Medinat Habu and The Ramesseum from Luxor
Your tour begins with a convenient pickup from your hotel or cruise ship in Luxor in a comfortable, air-conditioned vehicle. You will travel towards the Luxor West Bank, crossing over the Luxor Bridge until reaching your first stop at the staggering Colossi of Memnon to admire these two massive, 60-foot stone statues that have stood for more than 3,000 years. Next, you will travel to the Valley of the Nobles to marvel at a hillside carved with hundreds of unique, rock-cut tombs belonging to ancient powerful administrators and courtiers. From there, your local expert tour guide will lead you to Medinat Habu, the mortuary temple of Ramses III and one of Egypt’s best-preserved and most architecturally compelling temples. As you walk through its massive walls, you will hear how it remains one of the few monuments in Egypt to truly convey the intense emotional impact that religious art and architecture had on the ancient Egyptians. Your final exploration brings you to the Ramesseum, the grand memorial temple of Ramses the Great. Here, you will explore the majestic ruins where the warm limestone seems to have mellowed and turned golden with time, standing open to the desert air without enclosing walls or overshadowing pylons. At the conclusion of your six-hour excursion, you will be driven smoothly back to your hotel or cruise ship.
