    Ramesseum- a rarely visited and mystical place to tour without crowds.

    I got to do a visit to a site that was very important for me. And Mohammed let me pace my time as I wanted, while giving me real in-depth information about the places, things and hieroglyphs, wewere reviewing. His guidance and narrative far surpasses anything you could find in a guidebook or web search article.

    Response from the operator: Greetings from Sunrise tours, Egypt. We thank you so much for sharing your experience with us & our community, we are so grateful, and you are much appreciated. It was our pleasure to have you among our lovely clients; we look forward to welcoming you again and again aaaand agaaaiiin :) with our best wishes to enjoy each moment in your life...

    Howard Carter's House & Ramasseum.

    Thoroughly enjoyed our trip to the Ramesseum and Carter's house. Carter's house has the bonus of having a replica of Tutankhamun's tomb outside at the back. Our guide was Tarek who was extremely knowledgeable and was able to answer all our questions. Tarek was also able to help me buy a cartouche pendant with my name in hieroglyphics which I had been wanting for a very good price. Whole experience is highly recommended.

    Ramesseum Ramesses II Temple & Howard Carter House tour in Luxor: questions travelers ask

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

    How much does Ramesseum Ramesses II Temple & Howard Carter House tour in Luxor cost?

    +

    Prices start at $13 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 Ramesseum Ramesses II Temple & Howard Carter House tour in Luxor take?

    +

    Plan for about 4 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 Ramesseum Ramesses II Temple & Howard Carter House tour in Luxor worth it?

    +

    It holds an Outty Ranking of 64 out of 100, which we label "Solid Choice". That score blends traveler sentiment (5/5 across 2 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 Ramesseum Ramesses II Temple & Howard Carter House tour in Luxor?

    +

    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 Ramesseum Ramesses II Temple & Howard Carter House tour in Luxor suitable for kids and families?

    +

    Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 4-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.

    How far in advance should I book Ramesseum Ramesses II Temple & Howard Carter House tour in Luxor?

    +

    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 4-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.

    Where does Ramesseum Ramesses II Temple & Howard Carter House tour in Luxor 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.
