Valle Delle Regine
In the early morning, commence your adventure with a visit to the Valley of the Queens. This sacred site is home to at least 75 tombs belonging to queens of the 19th and 20th dynasties, as well as other royal family members, including princesses and Ramesside princes. Explore four open tombs, including the renowned tomb of Nefertari (additional fees apply for Nefertari tomb), which reopened to the public in late 2016. Other tombs to visit include those of Titi, Khaemwaset, and Amunherkhepshef. Allow approximately 2 hours to immerse yourself in the royal resting place.
Valley of the Nobles
Continue your journey to the Valley of Nobles, where around 400 tombs house senior officials, ministers, governors, military figures, and representatives of the clergy. Unlike the reliefs in the tombs of kings, these tombs feature predominantly paintings that provide insights into the daily lives of Egyptians over 3000 years ago. Delve into the details of their quality of life and customs as you explore this fascinating site. Allow 2 hours for a thorough exploration.
After this immersive morning, you will be transferred back to your Luxor hotel or Nile Cruise, leaving you with lasting memories of the Valley of the Queens and the Valley of Nobles.
