    What you'll see and do

    1. Temple of Hatshepsut

      This temple is unique in all of Egypt — built directly into the cliffs of Deir el-Bahari, it was designed for one of the most powerful women in ancient history, Queen Hatshepsut. Its terraces, statues, and alignment with the rising sun show her ambition to be remembered as a true Pharaoh.”

      60 minutes here · Admission included

    2. Valley of the Kings

      Valley of the Kings, the eternal resting place of Egypt’s greatest Pharaohs. Over 3,000 years ago, the rulers of the New Kingdom chose this hidden desert valley, surrounded by cliffs, as their sacred burial ground. They carved deep tombs into the rock, filled them with treasures, sacred texts, and paintings to guide their souls through the afterlife. Unlike the pyramids of the Old Kingdom, which stood tall and visible, these tombs were meant to be secret—protected from tomb robbers and guarded by the desert itself. Here, you’ll find over 60 royal tombs, including the world-famous tomb of Tutankhamun, discovered almost intact in 1922. Each tomb tells a story, not only of death, but of the Pharaoh’s journey to immortality.”

      120 minutes here · Admission included

    3. Colossi of Memnon

      These two giant statues are over 18 meters tall and once guarded the entrance of a massive temple built by Pharaoh Amenhotep III. Today, they still stand proudly after more than 3,000 years, welcoming visitors to the West Bank of Luxor.”

    Perfect second half day on the West Bank of Luxor

    They were flexible with the pickup point as well as the drop off location. I got the tour without a guide, we had an issue with the communication first, so we had to go back to buy the tickets, but the rest of the experience was great and it did not felt rushed

    Flexible, knowledgeable and genuinely helpful — highly recommend

    We had a wonderful half-day tour with Nasser covering the Valley of the Queens, Habu Temple and the Workers’ Tombs. He was punctual, knowledgeable and genuinely helpful — going above and beyond by taking us to a local market to help us find good quality groceries at local prices. We also decided on the spot to add Hatshepsut Temple to our itinerary and Nasser accommodated this seamlessly at a very fair price. Travelling with a small child, we really appreciated his flexibility, patience and care. Would highly recommend for families visiting the West Bank.

    Response from the operator: Thank you very much for sharing your wonderful experience with Icon Tours Egypt Company.

    Luxor Day Tour : Valley of the Kings, Hatshepsut Temple & Memnon: questions travelers ask

    Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Luxor.

    How much does Luxor Day Tour : Valley of the Kings, Hatshepsut Temple & Memnon cost?

    +

    Prices start at $12 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 Luxor Day Tour : Valley of the Kings, Hatshepsut Temple & Memnon take?

    +

    Plan for about 5 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 Luxor Day Tour : Valley of the Kings, Hatshepsut Temple & Memnon worth it?

    +

    It holds an Outty Ranking of 67 out of 100, which we label "Solid Choice". That score blends traveler sentiment (5/5 across 4 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 Luxor Day Tour : Valley of the Kings, Hatshepsut Temple & Memnon?

    +

    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 Luxor Day Tour : Valley of the Kings, Hatshepsut Temple & Memnon suitable for kids and families?

    +

    Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 5-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.

    How far in advance should I book Luxor Day Tour : Valley of the Kings, Hatshepsut Temple & Memnon?

    +

    Around 1 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 5-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.

    Where does Luxor Day Tour : Valley of the Kings, Hatshepsut Temple & Memnon 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.
