Temple of Medinat Habu
The Mortuary Temple of Ramesses III: Medinet Habu As one of the most well-preserved monuments on Luxor’s West Bank, this expansive complex serves as the Mortuary Temple of Ramesses III. Visitors enter through the Migdol, a massive stone gateway styled after a Syrian fortress designed to project the Pharaoh's military strength. The Experience Drawing fewer crowds than other sites, Medinet Habu offers a serene environment to explore its colossal halls. It is renowned for its remarkable preservation; looking up, you can still see original, 3,000-year-old pigments (blues, reds, and yellows) on the ceilings. Historical Highlights: Deep-Cut Reliefs: Hieroglyphs were carved exceptionally deep to prevent erasure, creating high-contrast shadows. The Sea Peoples: Outer walls feature crucial reliefs documenting naval victories against ancient invaders. Royal Palace: Includes the archaeological remains of the palace and the "Window of Appearances."

Colossi of Memnon
The Colossi of Memnon: Twin Guardians of Luxor Standing prominently along the West Bank road, the Colossi of Memnon are two massive stone statues representing Pharaoh Amenhotep III. These towering, 18-meter-high monuments have stood in this exact spot for over 3,400 years, originally guarding a vast mortuary temple complex that has since vanished. What you will see: Massive Engineering: Each monolithic statue weighs approximately 720 tons, showcasing ancient transport and carving capabilities. Historical Graffiti: Following an ancient earthquake, the northern statue famously "sang" at dawn due to temperature shifts, drawing early Greek and Roman travelers who carved graffiti into the base. This iconic roadside stop offers an excellent introduction to the massive scale of Pharaonic architecture.

Wonderful colours in the tombs
We enjoyed the Valley of the Queens more than the Valley of the Kings. The colours are stronger and it was quieter. The Valley of the Queens entry fee is 220 Egyptian pounds and Hatshepsut Temple is 440 Egyptian pounds

Just a marvellous exoerience, all round care package for fair price!
Waleed is just the nicest guy and he cared about everything. I contacted him via hus I stagram, because a friend in Luxembourg recommended him. We got picked up at our hotel in Soma Bay, Safaga at 05:45 just as planned and we had a private driver who took us to Luxor (240KM) in about two and a half hours. We met Waleed, our guide, at the entrance of the Karnak temple, he had already bought our tickets and then he showed us round. He had plenty of interesting information and explained all the ancient egyptian gods with their symbols and what they stand for and showed us which kings build the different parts of the temple. After that we visited the vakley of the kings which was very impressive. After that we did the memnon status and then we had lunch. Lunch was included in out price. Although it was a very crowdy place with a lot of tourists, we got a table after 5 minutes and food was delicious. Then we stopped by a local shop where they craft things out of different stones. You can buy something, but they don‘t insist so no worries. I still bought a nice vase out of Alabaster. Very stylish. Ladt but not least we visited the Hatshepsut temple and then we were driven back to our hotel. We were two persons and the price was more than fair. If you wanna visut Luxor, do it with Waleed, you won‘t be dissppointed!

Why this scores 61
The Outty Ranking is a weighted composite. Here is how this experience performed on each component.
West Bank Luxor Thrills:Valley of Kings, Hatshepsut& Habu Temples: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Luxor.
How much does West Bank Luxor Thrills:Valley of Kings, Hatshepsut& Habu Temples cost?
+
Prices start at $75 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 West Bank Luxor Thrills:Valley of Kings, Hatshepsut& Habu Temples 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 West Bank Luxor Thrills:Valley of Kings, Hatshepsut& Habu Temples worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 61 out of 100, which we label "Solid Choice". That score blends traveler sentiment (5/5 across 21 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 West Bank Luxor Thrills:Valley of Kings, Hatshepsut& Habu Temples?
+
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 West Bank Luxor Thrills:Valley of Kings, Hatshepsut& Habu Temples suitable for kids and families?
+
The operator sets a minimum age of 1. Older children generally do well here, and families should factor in the 5-hour running time when deciding.
How far in advance should I book West Bank Luxor Thrills:Valley of Kings, Hatshepsut& Habu Temples?
+
Around 7 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 West Bank Luxor Thrills:Valley of Kings, Hatshepsut& Habu Temples 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.
