    2. Temple of Hatshepsut

      Next, we move to the stunning Hatshepsut's Temple, nestled against the towering cliffs of Deir el-Bahari. This temple is a masterpiece of ancient Egyptian architecture and stands as a testament to Queen Hatshepsut's reign, one of Egypt's most successful female pharaohs. The temple's grand terraces and elegant columns reveal stories of divine birth, expeditions to the Land of Punt, and Hatshepsut’s rise to power. As you wander through this incredible structure, our guide will share fascinating details about the temple’s unique design and its significance in the ancient world. Hatshepsut’s Temple is more than just stone and sand; it’s an epic saga carved in history.

    3. Colossi of Memnon

      Our journey continues to the iconic Colossus of Memnon, two massive stone statues of Pharaoh Amenhotep III that have stood guard over the Theban Necropolis for millennia. These towering figures, each weighing around 720 tons, have become legendary not only for their imposing presence but also for the mysterious "singing" phenomenon that intrigued ancient travelers. Standing at the feet of these ancient giants, you’ll feel the weight of history pressing down on you. The Colossus of Memnon offers a unique photo opportunity and a chance to reflect on the scale and ambition of ancient Egyptian builders. These statues are a perfect stop to conclude our exploration of the West Bank. After an exciting day of exploring the wonders of Luxor's West Bank, we’ll begin our relaxing drive back to your hotel. Enjoy the picturesque views of the Nile River and the green fields of Luxor as we head back.

    Best tour guide ever

    We had an outstanding experience in Luxor and on a boattour with Dahabiya Nile Sailing with Shaimaa Hussein as our guide. Shaimaa organized drivers, advised on our itinerary, made sure we were safe and comfortable and shared her encyclopedic knowledge and obvious passion for the south, its people, places and all things ancient Egyptian. We learnt so much from Shaimaa - she really brought the temples and sites of the south alive, and we are so glad we had her as our guide. We really recommend her, she is the best guide we ever had.

    Best tour guide in Luxor!

    We had several tours with different guides during our trip, and Shaimaa was by far the best! We learned so much without being overwhelmed with too much information or being questioned as we had with another guide, and she made the experience really enjoyable. Would not have gained so much from the tomb visits without going with Shaimaa. She was also very respectful and did not ask us to have photos taken with her, which our other guides did. Highly recommend, and wish we had been able to book her for our other tours! Felt very safe in the clean bus her driver used too

    Best tour guide in Egypt

    I had 3 different guides whilst in Egypt and I wish I had Shaimaa for all of those as she was by far the best. Everything was explained clearly and at a good pace, not drawn out. She told the stories and explained the history excellently. Shaimaa gave us all of the best recommendations for the best temples to see in the valley of the kings. Definitely worth booking in with, wish we had her for more of our tours.

    A fantastic trip in Luxor

    We had an amazing tour with Shaimaa - she was so knowledgeable about the sites and made sure we knew where to look to see all of the best bits. She knew the answers to all of our questions and was even helpful and when we wanted to buy something from a local shop. Fully recommended.

    West Bank Wonders at Kings Valley and Hatshepsut Temple: questions travelers ask

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

    How much does West Bank Wonders at Kings Valley and Hatshepsut Temple cost?

    +

    Prices start at $97 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 Wonders at Kings Valley and Hatshepsut Temple 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 Wonders at Kings Valley and Hatshepsut Temple 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 17 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 Wonders at Kings Valley and Hatshepsut Temple?

    +

    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 Wonders at Kings Valley and Hatshepsut Temple 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 West Bank Wonders at Kings Valley and Hatshepsut Temple?

    +

    Around 6 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 Wonders at Kings Valley and Hatshepsut Temple 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.

    What languages is West Bank Wonders at Kings Valley and Hatshepsut Temple offered in?

    +

    Will I get instant confirmation and a mobile ticket for West Bank Wonders at Kings Valley and Hatshepsut Temple?

    +

    Confirmation is sent by the operator after booking, usually within 48 hours; if it is not confirmed you are not charged. Mobile tickets are accepted, so you can show the voucher on your phone.

    Is West Bank Wonders at Kings Valley and Hatshepsut Temple wheelchair or stroller accessible?

    +

    The operator notes: Infants are required to sit on an adult’s lap. If accessibility is critical, contact the operator after booking to confirm arrangements for your date.

    What happens to West Bank Wonders at Kings Valley and Hatshepsut Temple if the weather is bad?
