Tour overview
The Luxor West Bank Private Half-Day Tour is a guided 4-5 hour excursion covering the three flagship monuments of Luxor’s necropolis — the Valley of the Kings (3 tombs entry included), the Temple of Hatshepsut at Deir el-Bahari, and the Colossi of Memnon. Includes licensed Egyptologist, private transport, all standard entrance fees, and hotel pickup. From $79 per person.
Luxor’s West Bank is where the pharaohs were buried — kilometers of tombs, mortuary temples, and monuments cut into limestone cliffs across the Nile from ancient Thebes. Half a day is enough for the three most-visited sites, if you have a proper guide who knows which tombs to enter. The Valley of the Kings standard ticket includes 3 tombs (you pick from about a dozen open on any given day); premium tombs like Tutankhamun and Seti I have separate tickets. Marvel operates this tour privately so you decide which 3 tombs — some travelers want Ramesses IV and V for wall art, others prefer newer discoveries.
