Luxor Tour to the Valley of the Queens, the Valley of the Artisans, and Medinet Habu Temple with Egypt TIA Tour was a true highlight of my trip! The Valley of the Queens was mesmerizing, especially the beautifully decorated tombs that reveal the elegance of ancient royal women. In the Valley of the Artisans (Deir el-Medina), I was amazed by the colorful tombs of the workers who built Egypt’s grand monuments their artistry and daily life captured in stunning detail. Finally, the Temple of Medinet Habu stood in all its glory, with massive walls and vivid carvings that brought Ramses III’s reign to life.
What made the day unforgettable was the private experience with an expert Egyptologist guide who explained the history with passion and depth. The tour was well-organized, comfortable, and tailored to my pace, making every stop meaningful and enjoyable.
If you want to go beyond the usual highlights and explore some of Luxor’s most artistic and fascinating sites, this tour with Egypt TIA Tour is absolutely perfect!

Exploring Luxor’s hidden gems with Egypt TIA Tour was one of the most rewarding parts of my journey. The Valley of the Queens felt like stepping into a royal gallery, where the tombs still glow with colors and grace that honor Egypt’s powerful queens. In the Valley of the Artisans I gained a rare glimpse into the lives of the people behind the grand temples their artistry and devotion captured in incredible detail. The day reached its peak at the magnificent Medinet Habu Temple with its towering pylons and vivid reliefs that tell dramatic stories of Ramses III.
This wasn’t just sightseeing it was storytelling brought to life by an expert guide, paired with seamless service and complete comfort. For travelers who want to go beyond the usual highlights and truly connect with the soul of Luxor, this tour is unforgettable.
