Tomb of Merenptah
In Egyptian mythology, Ptah is the demiurge of Memphis, god of craftsmen and architects. In the or simply in its falcon form of the new deity, it began to be placed in tombs to accompany and protect the dead on their journey to the West of Luxor. Tomb 8, which is located in the Valley of the Kings, was the burial place of the Pharaoh Merneptah and is the model of royal tombs Merneptah was a son of Ramesses II and Queen Isis-Nofret.the tomb was discovered by Howard Carter in 1903. Of course, there is a material decrease in the number of lateral roots and a dramatic increase in the height of the corridors and rooms.

Disappointed
This portion of our bucket list trip to Egypt was less than enjoyable due to the poor deportment of our guide Mo. First of all we paid for a full day private guide, yet there were other guests on the tour. Secondly there was no water provided as stated in the description. These first two issues my wife and I let it go because we were focused on learning the history of the Valley of the Kings. The last and most important issue was that we were supposed to have 2 hours in the Valley and only had an hour and a half. To make matters worse Mo told us that in addition to the extra fee for the Tut tomb there was an extra 20 dollar charge per person for him to explain the tomb to us, even though as our guide that was his specific reason for our hiring him in the first place. He stated it was for the extra parking and time spent. Parking however is free at the Valley and we already paid for his guidance. He scammed us out of 40 dollars, charging again for a service we already paid for. He asked for the money at the restaurant we stopped at for lunch. The owner took our credit cards ran it for 40 bucks then gave cash to Mo. Shady, if this was a legitimate charge would not Viator billed us directly. Left a bad impression on us. I expected some less than honorable tactics from street vendors but not from our guide. We felt like we had no choice but to pay. He has a great little con going and made even more money from the people he added to our private tour. He did the same to them. I cannot recommend Mo or this particular tour.
Response from the operator: Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback. We sincerely regret that your experience did not meet your expectations, and we would like to address the points you raised. First, we would like to clarify that the tour you booked was scheduled as a shared tour, not a private one. This information is clearly stated in the booking details on Viator. However, we apologize if this was not communicated clearly at the time of the tour. Regarding the water, complimentary bottled water is normally provided. If this was missed on that day, we truly apologize for the oversight. Concerning the time spent in the Valley of the Kings, the standard visit duration is approximately 1.5 hours, which aligns with official site regulations and crowd management policies. Spending additional time is subject to site conditions and visitor flow, especially during peak hours. Most importantly, we take your comments about the additional payment very seriously. No guide is authorized to request extra fees directly from guests for explanations or parking, especially for services already included. Parking at the Valley of the Kings is indeed free, and any entrance fees (including Tutankhamun’s tomb) are clearly listed and paid separately at the ticket office. We are currently investigating this incident with the guide in question and will take appropriate action to ensure this does not happen again. This behavior does not reflect our company standards or values. We truly regret the negative impression this left on you and your wife, and we appreciate you bringing this matter to our attention so we can improve our service. Kind regards, Management Team

Luxor private Full Day tour: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Luxor.
How much does Luxor private Full Day tour cost?
+
Prices start at $39 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 private Full Day tour 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 private Full Day tour worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 64 out of 100, which we label "Solid Choice". That score blends traveler sentiment (4.5/5 across 6 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 private Full Day tour?
+
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 private Full Day tour 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 private Full Day tour?
+
Around 2 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 private Full Day tour 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.
