Continue your Luxor West Bank journey with a visit to the impressive Temple of Hatshepsut, one of the most beautiful temples in Egypt. Built for the powerful female pharaoh Queen Hatshepsut, this temple stands dramatically against the cliffs of Deir el-Bahari. Its unique design features wide terraces, tall columns, and detailed reliefs showing scenes from the queen’s life and achievements. Carvings on the walls tell the story of her famous trading expedition to the Land of Punt and her successful reign. Thanks to its striking architecture and historical importance, the Temple of Hatshepsut is a highlight of any Luxor tour. A walk through this site reveals the legacy of one of Egypt’s greatest rulers.

This historic site in Luxor holds many beautifully decorated tombs that show scenes from ancient Egyptian beliefs about the afterlife. Some tombs feature bright wall paintings and detailed hieroglyphics that have survived for thousands of years. The most well-known tomb belongs to Queen Nefertari, one of the most beloved queens of ancient Egypt.

Valley of the Artisans (Deir el-Medina)
Then, continue to Deir el-Medina, known as the Valley of the Artisans, one of Luxor’s most fascinating historical sites. This ancient village was home to the skilled craftsmen who built and decorated the royal tombs in the Valley of the Kings. During your visit, you can enter well-preserved tombs of these workers, where colorful wall paintings show scenes of daily life, religious rituals, and ancient beliefs about the afterlife. The artwork here is detailed and personal, giving a different view of ancient Egyptian culture. Unlike royal tombs, these burial sites reflect the real lives of the people behind Egypt’s great monuments.

Why this scores 78
The Outty Ranking is a weighted composite. Here is how this experience performed on each component.
Full Day Private Tour of Luxor West Bank Temples and Tombs: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Luxor.
How much does Full Day Private Tour of Luxor West Bank Temples and Tombs cost?
+
Prices start at $15 per person. The final price depends on the date, the time slot and the number of travelers, and peak weekends in Luxor usually price higher than midweek mornings. Live pricing and remaining availability are confirmed on the booking screen before you pay.
How long does Full Day Private Tour of Luxor West Bank Temples and Tombs take?
+
Plan for about 7 hours from start to finish, not counting travel to the meeting point. Most travelers leave another 30 minutes on either side so the rest of the day in Luxor is not rushed.
Is Full Day Private Tour of Luxor West Bank Temples and Tombs worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 78 out of 100, which we label "Strongly Recommended". That score blends traveler sentiment (5/5 across 21 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable last minute in Luxor, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.
Can I cancel or reschedule Full Day Private Tour of Luxor West Bank Temples and Tombs?
+
Yes. Cancel free up to 24 hours before the start time for a full refund. Inside that window the booking is non-refundable, and no-shows are not refunded.
Is Full Day Private Tour of Luxor West Bank Temples and Tombs suitable for kids and families?
+
Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 7-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.
How far in advance should I book Full Day Private Tour of Luxor West Bank Temples and Tombs?
+
Around 7 people booked this in the last 30 days, so popular slots go early. Two to three weeks ahead is comfortable in shoulder season, while summer weekends and holidays in Luxor can sell out a month out. Same-day spots do open up when other travelers cancel, so it is worth checking if you are already in town.
What should I bring or wear?
+
Bring photo ID, your booking confirmation on your phone, a refillable water bottle and comfortable shoes. Dress for the weather in Luxor and add a light layer if any part of the 7-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does Full Day Private Tour of Luxor West Bank Temples and Tombs start and how do I get there?
+
The exact meeting point and directions are on your voucher once you book, and they sit in central Luxor within reach of public transport. Arrive 15 minutes early: late arrivals are treated as no-shows by most operators.
What are the best things to do in Luxor?
+
On Outty we rank every Luxor experience on the same 0 to 100 scale, and alongside this one the highest scorers right now include Private Half Day Luxor Tour Valley of Kings & Queens, Hatshepsut, Full Day Tour to East and West Banks of Luxor (Private), Full Day Tour of Luxor private. The city page groups everything into most popular, highest reviewed, last minute and family-friendly so you can build a day around what actually delivers.
When is the best time to visit Luxor?
+
Booking patterns follow the same curve: prices and queues climb in peak weeks, while shoulder season gives you better availability on the top-ranked experiences and more room to change plans.
How many days do you need in Luxor?
+
Three full days covers the headline sights without sprinting. A workable rhythm is one anchor experience each morning, such as this one, an unhurried afternoon in a single neighborhood, then a food or nightlife booking in the evening. Five days lets you add a day trip outside the city.
Do I book through Outty or through the operator?
+
Outty ranks and explains the experiences, then hands you to Viator to complete the booking with the operator directly. The price is the same as booking on Viator yourself, and Outty earns an affiliate commission on the referral, which is how the rankings stay free to read.
