First you will be transported to the Necropolis of Thebes, the Valley of the Kings on the West Bank of Luxor. This ancient necropolis is a must-see for Luxor travelers. It consists of tombs embedded in the mountain Thebes. Here, you visit 3 tombs of various dynasties. Your Egyptologist tour guide will be on hand to recommend and advise you as to which tombs to visit
The tomb of Ramesses III, designated as KV 11, is a complex system in the Valley of the Kings. It has been known since antiquity,the wonderful decorations include colourful painted sunken reliefs featuring the traditional ritual texts (Litany of Ra, Book of Gates etc) and Ramses before the gods. Unusual here are the secular scenes, in the small side rooms of the entrance corridor, showing foreign tributes, such as highly detailed pottery imported from the Aegean, the royal armoury, boats and, in the last of these side chambers, the blind harpists that gave the tomb one of its alternative names: ‘Tomb of the Harpers’
Tomb of King Ramesses lX was the third pharaoh of the Twentieth Dynasty of the New Kingdom of Ancient Egypt. His name prior to assuming the crown was Amonhirkhopshef. He was the fifth son of Ramesses III and was appointed to the position of crown prince by the twenty-second year of his father's reign when all four of his elder brothers predeceased his promotion to crown prince . The tomb has so much colour and detail even the ceiling above the sarcophagi with its goddess Nut stretching across the space. The sarcophagus is one of the largest in the valley, even though some of the paintings have deteriorated this is one of the most decorated.
In Egyptian mythology, Ptah is the demiurge of Memphis, god of craftsmen and architects. In the or simply in its falcon form of the new deity, began to be placed in tombs to accompany and protect the dead on their journey to the West of Luxor .Tomb 8, which is located in the Valley of the Kings, was the burial place of the Pharaoh Merneptah and is the model of royal tombs Merneptah was a son of Ramesses II and Queen Isis-Nofret.the tomb was discovered by Howard Carter in 1903. Of coursethere is a material decrease in the number of lateral rooms, and a dramatic increase in the height of the corridors and rooms. He did away with the jogged axis used since the time of Horemheb and instead built the entire tomb on a single axis.

    Abdul, our guide, was incredible. This tour of Luxor was so amazing we even added on an additional tour at the end of one more place because we loved it so much. Abdul is incredibly knowledgeable and a true Egyptologist. He loves what he does and it it apparent. He is also an extremely effective teacher, such that I learned more about (and still remember) more about ancient Egypt with him over a few hours than studying it over months. I look forward to visiting and touring with Abdul again. I wanted to repost this review to edit it to add and acknowledge Hassan our wonderful driver. Abdul and Hassan also took us to an amazing restaurant called Africa that had excellent food and a wonderful atmosphere on a hot summer day. It was an amazing day in Luxor that I still think about.

    Abdul is a very knowledgeable tour guide and was extremely friendly and kind. We learned a lot about the tombs and the history of the area. He also suggested an amazing restaurant for us to have lunch. Totally recommend this tour! Hassan was a great driver too. He kept our items safe and was such a nice guy!
