Here you will see the Temple of Deir el-Medina, which was dedicated to the goddess Hathor. This is the only temple in all of Egypt where you can admire carvings of the Final Judgement.
4. Temple of Medinat Habu
After visiting the tombs you will be transported to the Temple of Ramses III (Medinet Habu). Medinet Habu consists of a palace and a town enclosed within a defensive wall. Entry is through the High Gate, or Migdol, which in appearance resembles a citadel.

6. Tomb of Ramses III
The tomb of Ramesses III, designated as KV 11, is a complex system in the Valley of the Kings. It has been known since antiquity,the wonderful decorations include colourful painted sunken reliefs featuring the traditional ritual texts (Litany of Ra, Book of Gates etc) and Ramses before the gods. Unusual here are the secular scenes, in the small side rooms of the entrance corridor, showing foreign tributes, such as highly detailed pottery imported from the Aegean, the royal armoury, boats and, in the last of these side chambers, the blind harpists that gave the tomb one of its alternative names: ‘Tomb of the Harpers’
7. Tomb of Ramases IX
Tomb of King Ramesses lX was the third pharaoh of the Twentieth Dynasty of the New Kingdom of Ancient Egypt. His name prior to assuming the crown was Amonhirkhopshef. He was the fifth son of Ramesses III and was appointed to the position of crown prince by the twenty-second year of his father's reign when all four of his elder brothers predeceased his promotion to crown prince . The tomb has so much colour and detail even the ceiling above the sarcophagi with its goddess Nut stretching across the space. The sarcophagus is one of the largest in the valley, even though some of the paintings have deteriorated this is one of the most decorated.
8. Tomb of Merenptah

Of coursethere is a material decrease in the number of lateral rooms, and a dramatic increase in the height of the corridors and rooms.

Also, for the first time, the entrance was made considerably wider than earlier tombs .

We did a day trip to Luxor from Cairo (by plane) and this was the perfect tour package for us to see all the main sites in the limited time we had! Magad, our guide, was incredibly knowledgeable and really professional, we learnt so much throughout the day! He was also very accommodating to move at the fast pace and tailor the day to our timings. Really recommend the experience!!

Khalid is my wonderful guide of this tour. He knows EVERYTHING! He has a master degree of ancient Egypt history, so you can ask him anything you interested. He shows me the best sites of the west bank of Luxor. Some sites are really amazing but quite far away from the sites most tourists visit, but he still leads me there and give me the best experience! The lunch is so delicious. He arranges everything super well! Thank you Khalid!

This is a new company and I cannot recommend this trip highly enough. Ragab is the owner and our guide. He actually worked with an archaeologist on a dig in Luxor and he definitely knows what he's talking about. Hatshepsut temple was amazing, and the tombs are something you just have to see. Just for awareness, pictures are not allowed in the tombs - disappointing but understandable. The entire trip was amazing.
