Tour Overview

Valley of the Queens and Valley of the Nobles Tour is a private Luxor West Bank Tour planned for travelers who want to visit important tomb sites on the West Bank of Luxor. This tour covers the Valley of the Queens and the Valley of the Nobles with a private Egyptologist guide, private air-conditioned transfers, entrance fees, lunch, and pickup and drop-off from your hotel, Nile Cruise, Luxor Airport, Luxor Train Station, or your location in Luxor.

This Luxor West Bank Tour is one of the useful Luxor Tours for travelers who want to focus on tombs, ancient Egyptian funerary beliefs, royal women, nobles, officials, and daily life scenes in Luxor, the Ancient City. Ancient Thebes was one of Egypt’s most important religious and royal centers, especially during the New Kingdom period between the 16th and 11th centuries BC.

It is suitable for visitors searching for Luxor Trips, Luxor Excursions, Luxor Day Tours, and Luxor Day Trips that include important tombs beyond the standard Valley of the Kings route.

During the tour, you will visit the Valley of the Queens, used as a burial place for queens, princes, princesses, and royal family members, mainly during the New Kingdom period. The valley is strongly connected with the royal families of the 18th, 19th, and 20th Dynasties and includes more than 90 known tombs.

You will also visit the Valley of the Nobles, where tombs of officials, priests, governors, scribes, and important nobles show scenes of daily life, work, agriculture, music, offerings, family life, and religious beliefs. These tombs give a different view of ancient Egyptian society beyond royal tombs and temples, with many tombs dating mainly from the 18th Dynasty to the 20th Dynasty.

The Valley of the Queens helps explain royal family burials and funerary beliefs connected with queens and princes, while the Valley of the Nobles gives clear context about officials, administration, work, and daily life in ancient Thebes.

Both sites are important parts of Luxor Attractions on the West Bank and are useful for travelers who want a deeper Luxor tombs tour beyond the most common sightseeing route.

WOW Egypt Tours arranges this private West Bank Luxor Tour with clear organization and direct sightseeing. The tour includes private transfers inside Luxor, a private Egyptologist guide, entrance fees to the mentioned sightseeing sites, lunch at a local restaurant, bottled water, and all service charges and taxes.

Tour Itinerary

1 Pickup

Your WOW Egypt Tours representative and driver will pick you up from your hotel, Nile Cruise, Luxor Airport, Luxor Train Station, or your location in Luxor. You will be transferred by private modern air-conditioned vehicle with your private Egyptologist guide to begin your Luxor West Bank sightseeing tour.

2 Valley of the Queens

The Valley of the Queens is located on the West Bank of Luxor and was used as a burial place for queens, princes, princesses, and members of the royal family during the New Kingdom period, especially from the 18th to the 20th Dynasties, between the 16th and 11th centuries BC.

The site is connected with the royal necropolis of ancient Thebes and gives important information about royal women, royal children, and funerary beliefs in ancient Egypt. It was known in ancient times as Ta-Set-Neferu, meaning the Place of Beauty, and includes more than 90 known tombs.

During your visit, your private Egyptologist guide will explain the history of the valley, the role of queens and royal family members, and the religious meaning of the tomb decorations. The tombs include painted scenes, inscriptions, gods, funerary texts, and images connected with the journey to the afterlife.

The Valley of the Queens is especially known for the tomb of Queen Nefertari, wife of Ramses II, who ruled Egypt during the 19th Dynasty in the 13th century BC. Her tomb, known as QV66, is one of the most famous decorated tombs in Luxor, although access depends on ticket availability and current site regulations.

The Valley of the Queens is an important stop on Luxor West Bank Tours for travelers who want to see royal tombs connected with women and family members of the pharaohs. It can also be combined with other West Bank sites such as the Valley of the Kings, Queen Hatshepsut Temple, Medinet Habu, and Deir el-Medina.

3 Lunch Time

Lunch is served at local restaurant.

4 Valley of the Nobles

After lunch, continue to the Valley of the Nobles, one of the important tomb areas on the West Bank of Luxor. The site includes tombs of nobles, officials, priests, governors, scribes, and important people who served in ancient Thebes, especially during the New Kingdom period between the 16th and 11th centuries BC.

The Valley of the Nobles is different from the royal burial areas because it focuses on the lives, work, status, and families of non-royal elites in ancient Egypt. These tombs belonged to people who held important positions in government, temples, administration, agriculture, and royal service. The area includes hundreds of private tombs, with many important decorated tombs dating mainly from the 18th Dynasty to the 20th Dynasty.

During your visit, your private Egyptologist guide will explain the difference between royal tombs and nobles’ tombs. Unlike many royal tombs that focus mainly on funerary texts and religious books, the tombs of the nobles often show daily life scenes, farming, hunting, fishing, banquets, music, work, offerings, and family life.

The tomb decorations give useful information about how ancient Egyptian society worked, including the role of scribes, priests, officials, craftsmen, farmers, servants, and family members. These scenes help travelers understand daily life in ancient Thebes beyond kings, queens, temples, and royal monuments.

The Valley of the Nobles is a useful stop for travelers who want to understand ancient Egyptian society beyond kings and queens. It gives clear context about administration, religion, family life, work, and the social structure of ancient Thebes during the New Kingdom period.

After completing your Valley of the Queens and Valley of the Nobles Tour, you will be transferred back by private air-conditioned vehicle to your hotel, Nile Cruise, Luxor Airport, Luxor Train Station, or your location in Luxor.
