The West Bank isn't all about the Valley of the Kings
Having done the Valley of the Kings, Queen Hatshetsup's Tomb etc, we had a spare day to do this tour and what a revelation. The Valley of the Workers was quiet but unusually spectacular and contains some of the best painted tombs on the West Bank, if not all Egypt. The Temple of Rameses 3 is an overlooked gem and although the Valley of the Nobles was less well -preserved, still worth a visit.
Response from the operator: Thank you so much for your wonderful review! We’re really happy to hear that your extra day turned into such a special experience. You’re absolutely right—the Valley of the Workers (Deir el-Medina) is truly one of the hidden treasures on the West Bank, with some of the most vivid and well-preserved tomb paintings in Egypt. It’s also great to know you enjoyed the Temple of Ramesses III at Medinet Habu—such an impressive site that many visitors unfortunately miss. And even though the Valley of the Nobles is less preserved in some areas, it still holds incredible history and charm. We truly appreciate you choosing to explore these lesser-known sites with us. It was a pleasure being part of your journey, and we hope to welcome you again for more unique experiences in Egypt

This tour was one of the...
This tour was one of the best tours I've ever undertaken. All thanks to Ragab, my tour guide (and Egyptologist) who was exceptional in every way. His knowledge of ancient egypt is first class. And he'll test you as well haha! You must do this tour with Ragab!! So glad I did this tour.
Response from the operator: We’re truly honored to hear that this was one of the best tours you’ve ever experienced. Ragab will be absolutely thrilled to read your kind words! His passion for ancient Egyptian history, deep knowledge as an Egyptologist, and fun way of engaging guests (yes, even the little tests 😄) are what make his tours so special. Thank you for the strong recommendation, and we’re so glad you chose to do this tour with Ragab. We hope to welcome you back again soon for more unforgettable experiences in Egypt 🇪🇬✨

Family travel
He visited Medinahab, the Valley of the Nobles and Der El Medina. Aladdin, our guide, is a truly amazing person. I had a lot of knowledge and I was able to spend a good time while learning about history. We also knew the photo spots and took many wonderful family photos, which made the trip enjoyable. It is a really recommended travel agency!
Response from the operator: 素敵なレビューをありがとうございます!😊 メディナ・ハブ、貴族の谷、デイル・エル・メディナの観光を楽しんでいただけて、大変うれしく思います。ガイドのアラジンの知識やご案内、そしてご家族の思い出に残る写真撮影までご満足いただけたとのこと、本当に光栄です。 またエジプトにお越しの際は、ぜひ Egypt Private Trips にお任せください。心よりお待ちしております!

Tour to Medinet Habu, Valley of Nobles, Deir el Madina: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Luxor.
How much does Tour to Medinet Habu, Valley of Nobles, Deir el Madina cost?
+
Prices start at $11 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 Tour to Medinet Habu, Valley of Nobles, Deir el Madina 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 Tour to Medinet Habu, Valley of Nobles, Deir el Madina worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 70 out of 100, which we label "Solid Choice". That score blends traveler sentiment (4.9/5 across 9 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 Tour to Medinet Habu, Valley of Nobles, Deir el Madina?
+
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 Tour to Medinet Habu, Valley of Nobles, Deir el Madina 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 Tour to Medinet Habu, Valley of Nobles, Deir el Madina?
+
Around 3 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 Tour to Medinet Habu, Valley of Nobles, Deir el Madina 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 Full Day Tour of Luxor West Bank Temples and Tombs (Private), Luxury Sunrise Balloon Ride in Luxor with Hotel Pickup, Luxor Day Tour: Valley of Kings & Queens & Hatchepsut Temples. 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.
