Tomb of Ramses III
The tomb of Ramesses III, designated as KV 11, is a complex system in the Valley of the Kings. It has been known since antiquity,the wonderful decorations include colourful painted sunken reliefs featuring the traditional ritual texts (Litany of Ra, Book of Gates etc) and Ramses before the gods. Unusual here are the secular scenes, in the small side rooms of the entrance corridor, showing foreign tributes, such as highly detailed pottery imported from the Aegean, the royal armoury, boats and, in the last of these side chambers, the blind harpists that gave the tomb one of its alternative names: ‘Tomb of the Harpers’

The tomb has so much colour and detail even the ceiling above the sarcophagi with its goddess Nut stretching across the space.

Amazing from front to end
Amazing! Very customized and knowledgeable. Ragab and his team are very responsive and good at customizing tours. The tour guide we had was hands down the best and most knowledgeable one during about two months in Africa. Could not be happier! Would highly recommend to book a tour with Luxor travels :)
Response from the operator: Dear valued guests, Thank you for your review! We are grateful that you took the time to share your feedback with us and that you entrusted us with arranging your day tour in Luxor. Great to hear we were able to customize according to your wishes and that you considered our guide to be the best tour guide you've had during your travels; this really means a lot to us!

Perfect
I know there’s a lot of similar tours but I can assure and guarantee this is the best one! Thank you Khalid again for the great tour

We always strive to deliver the best service possible and to offer our guests a great experience. So it is very motivating to hear we were able to do exactly that.

Awesome full day tour
Our guide, Khalid, did a great job sharing the history of Egypt with us. Out of the four tours we've taken while here, Khalid was by far the most informative guide. He also took amazing pictures for us. Karnak Temple is massive but we got plenty of time to roam and take pictures. The tombs at the Valley of the Kings were incredible. King Tut's tomb is incredibly small, so if you pay the extra 300£ to see it, don't get your hopes too high. Lunch wasn't bad either. It was a great tour.
Response from the operator: Dear valued guests, We really appreciate your feedback on your recent day tour to Luxor and on your tour guide. We are always happy to arrange a great and memorable tour, and we are also glad to help our guests by taking some great photos to remember their trip by. Thank you! Sincerely, Ragab El Motgalye

Khalid is the master!
Incredible! We had an egyptomogist with a masters degree as our guide, Khalid! He was so thorough in his history of each person and timelines. We finally understood how the people and stories we have already heard about, fit into a chronological time line. The sites were breath taking. Massive and still with original paintings. Khalid is great at taking beautiful pictures and answering any questions.
Response from the operator: Dear valued guests, Thank you so much for taking the time to give us your positive feedback. Khalid is very pleased to hear your compliments. It was our pleasure to arrange your day tour in Luxor and to show you around all the beautiful tombs and monuments. Thank you once again and we would be very happy to welcome you back another time. Sincerely, Ragab El Motgalye

Mrs McDonald
Private tour of west and east bank including Karnak, valley of the kings, temple of Hatshepsut and many more. Also a trip across the Nile and lunch over looking the Nile and the city. It was a very fast paced trip but that was just what me and husband wanted. To see khaild all the amazing sites of Luxor in one day. Our guide was fantastic, he had planned all the timing for all the attractions to prefection. We saw all the sites at there quietest times. He was extremely knowledgeable, helpful and also a great photographer and knew all the best places to take the best pictures. If you are looking to see the best of Luxor in a short amount of time I would highly recommend this tour. It’s tiring but totally worth it.
Response from the operator: Dear valued guests, We sincerely appreciate you taking the time to write us a review on TripAdvisor. It is always a pleasure to receive positive feedback. We are so thankful to hear your compliments for our guide Khalid and your recommendation. Thank you so much! Sincerely, Ragab El Motgalye

The Outty Ranking is a weighted composite. Here is how this experience performed on each component.
Private Guided tour Valley of the King ,Queen Hatshepsut, &Memnon: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Luxor.
How much does Private Guided tour Valley of the King ,Queen Hatshepsut, &Memnon cost?
+
Prices start at $45 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 Private Guided tour Valley of the King ,Queen Hatshepsut, &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 Private Guided tour Valley of the King ,Queen Hatshepsut, &Memnon worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 68 out of 100, which we label "Solid Choice". That score blends traveler sentiment (5/5 across 10 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 Private Guided tour Valley of the King ,Queen Hatshepsut, &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 Private Guided tour Valley of the King ,Queen Hatshepsut, &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 Private Guided tour Valley of the King ,Queen Hatshepsut, &Memnon?
+
Around 4 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 Private Guided tour Valley of the King ,Queen Hatshepsut, &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), Private Half day Tour to West bank. 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.
