    What you'll see and do

    1. Valley of the Kings

      The Valley of the Queens (Egyptian Arabic: وادى الملكات Wādī al-Malekāt) is a site in Egypt, in which queens, princes, princesses, and other high-ranking officials were buried. Pharaohs themselves were buried in the Valley of the Kings. The Valley of the Queens was known anciently as Ta-Set-Neferu, which has a double meaning of "The Place of Beauty" and/or "the Place of the Royal Children".[1] Excavation of the tombs at the Valley of the Queens was pioneered by Ernesto Schiaparelli and Francesco Ballerini in the early 1900s.[2]

    2. Temple of Medinat Habu

      Medinet Habu (Arabic: مدينة هابو, romanized: Madīnat Hābū; Ancient Egyptian: ḏꜣmwt; Sahidic Coptic: (ⲧ)ϫⲏⲙⲉ, ϫⲏⲙⲏ, ϫⲉⲙⲉ, ϫⲉⲙⲏ, ϫⲏⲙⲓ; Bohairic Coptic: ϭⲏⲙⲓ)[1] is an archaeological locality situated near the foot of the Theban Hills on the West Bank of the River Nile opposite the modern city of Luxor, Egypt. Although other structures are located within the area and important discoveries have also been made at these sites, the location is today associated almost synonymously with the largest and best preserved site, the Mortuary Temple of Ramesses III.

    3. Valley of the Kings

      Deir el-Medina (Egyptian Arabic: دير المدينة), or Dayr al-Madīnah, is an ancient Egyptian workmen's village which was home to the artisans who worked on the tombs in the Valley of the Kings during the 18th to 20th Dynasties of the New Kingdom of Egypt (ca. 1550–1080 BC).[1] The settlement's ancient name was Set maat ("Place of Truth"), and the workmen who lived there were called "Servants in the Place of Truth".[2] During the Christian era, the temple of Hathor was converted into a Monastery of Saint Isidorus the Martyr (Coptic: ⲡⲧⲟⲡⲟⲥ ⲙ̄ⲫⲁⲅⲓⲟⲥ ⲁⲡⲁ ⲓⲥⲓⲇⲱⲣⲟⲥ ⲡⲙⲁⲣⲧⲉⲣⲟⲥ)[3] from which the Egyptian Arabic name Deir el-Medina ("Monastery of the City") is derived.[4]

    Response from the operator: "Thank you for sharing your feedback. We're sorry to hear that the experience did not meet your expectations. The Mortuary Temple of Hatshepsut is a site rich in history and architecture, but we understand that everyone has different interests when it comes to exploring ancient sites. If you're looking for a more interactive or engaging experience, we’d be happy to recommend other activities in the area that might be more enjoyable for you. We appreciate your visit and hope to welcome you again in the future!"

    Luxor Excursions: Habu Temple & Valley of Workers: questions travelers ask

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

    How much does Luxor Excursions: Habu Temple & Valley of Workers cost?

    +

    Prices start at $25 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 Excursions: Habu Temple & Valley of Workers take?

    +

    Plan for about 6 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 Excursions: Habu Temple & Valley of Workers worth it?

    +

    It holds an Outty Ranking of 61 out of 100, which we label "Solid Choice". That score blends traveler sentiment (5/5 across 1 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 Excursions: Habu Temple & Valley of Workers?

    +

    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 Excursions: Habu Temple & Valley of Workers suitable for kids and families?

    +

    Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 6-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.

    How far in advance should I book Luxor Excursions: Habu Temple & Valley of Workers?

    +

    Around 0 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 6-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.

    Where does Luxor Excursions: Habu Temple & Valley of Workers 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.

    What is included in Luxor Excursions: Habu Temple & Valley of Workers?

    +

    Included: Private transportation; Bottled water; Entry Fees; and Tour Guide. Not included: Tipping; and Lunch. Always check the voucher for the final list before you travel.

    Does Luxor Excursions: Habu Temple & Valley of Workers include hotel pickup?

    +

    Yes, pickup is offered, or you can meet at the start point instead from 97 listed pickup locations in and around Luxor.

    What languages is Luxor Excursions: Habu Temple & Valley of Workers offered in?

    +

    It is offered in German, English, Italian and Spanish. Pick your language when choosing a date and time, as not every departure runs in every language.

    Will I get instant confirmation and a mobile ticket for Luxor Excursions: Habu Temple & Valley of Workers?

    +

    Confirmation is sent by the operator after booking, usually within 48 hours; if it is not confirmed you are not charged. Mobile tickets are accepted, so you can show the voucher on your phone.

    Is Luxor Excursions: Habu Temple & Valley of Workers wheelchair or stroller accessible?

    +

    The operator notes: Specialized infant seats are available. If accessibility is critical, contact the operator after booking to confirm arrangements for your date.

    What happens to Luxor Excursions: Habu Temple & Valley of Workers if the weather is bad?
