Overview

This half day covers the side of Luxor's West Bank that most tours skip. The Tombs of the Nobles were made for officials and scribes, and their paintings show farming, banquets and hunting rather than gods and kings. Deir el-Medina is the village of the craftsmen who cut and painted the royal tombs. Where work is underway, you can also watch archaeologists at an active excavation.

Highlights & Attractions

  • The Hidden Tombs of The Noble Men.
  • The Artisan Village of The Royal Tombs.
