    What you'll see and do

    1. Valley of the Kings

      Your unforgettable day begins with a seamless hotel pickup, where both your dedicated tour guide and friendly driver will greet you warmly. Settle into our modern, air-conditioned vehicle as we kick off a day of discovery and wonder through the heart of ancient Egypt — in total comfort and style. Our first destination is the legendary Valley of the Kings, a UNESCO World Heritage site that served as the final resting place for Egypt's most powerful pharaohs. Walk in the footsteps of kings as you explore the elaborately decorated tombs carved deep into the desert hills. Standard admission: EGP 750 (includes access to three tombs). Optional add-ons (payable on-site) include: • Tutankhamun's Tomb – EGP 700 • Ramesses VI Tomb – EGP 220 • Seti I Tomb – EGP 2000

    2. Temple of Hatshepsut

      We then continue to the awe-inspiring Mortuary Temple of Queen Hatshepsut, nestled beneath the towering cliffs of Deir el-Bahri. This majestic structure, with its tiered terraces and harmonious design, honors one of Egypt’s most powerful female rulers. Admission ticket (EGP 440) grants access to explore the temple and its impressive reliefs that tell stories of divine birth and trade expeditions. After the temple, we'll make a brief stop at a local Alabaster workshop — a traditional bazaar where generations of artisans have passed down the ancient techniques of carving and shaping this beautiful stone. You’ll get a fascinating look at how alabaster was crafted in Pharaonic times, using simple tools and skilled hands — just like the ancient Egyptians did. There’s absolutely no pressure to buy anything here. If something catches your eye, that’s great — and if not, you’re free to simply enjoy the experience and walk away with nothing but a deeper appreciation for this timeless craft.

    3. Temple of Medinat Habu

      Our journey leads us to the lesser-known gem of Luxor’s West Bank: Medinet Habu, the mortuary temple of Ramesses III. Unlike any other temple in Egypt, Habu boasts massive pylons, vivid battle scenes, and remarkably well-preserved wall carvings that provide insight into Egypt’s military history. The admission fee is EGP 220, and every pound is worth the walk through this monumental complex.

    4. Colossi of Memnon

      Before lunch, we make a brief stop at the iconic Colossi of Memnon — two enormous statues that have stood guard over the Theban Necropolis for more than 3,000 years. Towering at 18 meters tall, these ancient sentinels are not only architectural wonders but also powerful symbols of Amenhotep III’s legacy. Admission is free, so feel free to take your time soaking in the grandeur and snapping memorable photos. After a morning of exploration, it’s time to relax and refuel. We’ll head to a local restaurant of your choice, where you can enjoy a delicious lunch featuring a selection of traditional Egyptian dishes or international cuisine — whatever suits your taste buds best. As the day winds down, we’ll escort you back to your hotel, ensuring a smooth and comfortable drop-off. You’ll leave not only with photos and souvenirs but with lasting memories of a day immersed in the rich legacy of Ancient Egypt.

    Valley of the Kings, Hatshepsut Temple & Habu Temple Private Tour: questions travelers ask

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

    How much does Valley of the Kings, Hatshepsut Temple & Habu Temple Private Tour cost?

    +

    Prices start at $35 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 Valley of the Kings, Hatshepsut Temple & Habu Temple Private Tour take?

    +

    Plan for about 4.5 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 Valley of the Kings, Hatshepsut Temple & Habu Temple Private Tour worth it?

    +

    It holds an Outty Ranking of 59 out of 100, which we label "Worth a Look". 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 Valley of the Kings, Hatshepsut Temple & Habu Temple Private 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 Valley of the Kings, Hatshepsut Temple & Habu Temple Private Tour suitable for kids and families?

    +

    Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 4.5-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.

    How far in advance should I book Valley of the Kings, Hatshepsut Temple & Habu Temple Private Tour?

    +

    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 4.5-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.

    Where does Valley of the Kings, Hatshepsut Temple & Habu Temple Private 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), 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.
