It is 97 feet (30 m) tall. The unusual form of Hatshepsut's temple is explained by the choice of location, in the valley basin of Deir el-Bahari, surrounded by steep cliffs.

Tombs of the Nobles - Luxor
The nobles, they are the leader, the state men from the employees, the police, the army men. We find that in the old state it could be limited to the kings only, the state men struggled to obtain a right like the kings. In the Middle Kingdom they had the legitimate right to immortality and their god became the god Osiris and the royal god was Ra, so Osiris is the popular god, that is, the universality of the people, while Ra is final for the kings only. In the modern state: they had the full right to develop their tombs and decorate them with inscriptions like the kings, and Ra was the god of all the people and the kings.

Nice experience

Excellent and fun tour in Luxor.
Ahmed was extremely knowledgeable and speaks English very well. I was skeptical at first about taking a tour but in the end, I'm very happy that I did and beyond excited that it was with Ahmed. He ensure all questions were answered and he never made us feel rushed if we wanted to spend more time at a particular site.

Full Day Tour of Luxor West Bank Temples and Tombs (Private): questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Luxor.
How much does Full Day Tour of Luxor West Bank Temples and Tombs (Private) cost?
+
Prices start at $30 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 Tour of Luxor West Bank Temples and Tombs (Private) 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 Tour of Luxor West Bank Temples and Tombs (Private) worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 63 out of 100, which we label "Solid Choice". That score blends traveler sentiment (5/5 across 9 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable most popular in Luxor, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.
Can I cancel or reschedule Full Day Tour of Luxor West Bank Temples and Tombs (Private)?
+
No. This experience is sold on a non-refundable basis, so only book a date you are confident about. Similar experiences in the city do offer free cancellation if flexibility matters more than price.
Is Full Day Tour of Luxor West Bank Temples and Tombs (Private) 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 Tour of Luxor West Bank Temples and Tombs (Private)?
+
Around 3 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 Tour of Luxor West Bank Temples and Tombs (Private) 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.
