Discover the untold story of ancient Egypt’s master builders!
Tucked away on Luxor’s West Bank, Deir el-Medina — also known as the Valley of the Workers — was home to the elite craftsmen and artists who built and decorated the royal tombs in the Valley of the Kings and Queens.
This walled village offers a rare glimpse into the daily lives of ordinary (yet incredibly skilled) Egyptians. You can explore their modest mud-brick homes, visit a small temple dedicated to the gods they worshipped, and descend into their own beautifully painted tombs — which, unlike those of the pharaohs, reflect personal stories of love, music, family, and faith.
The artwork in these tombs is strikingly well-preserved, full of color and emotion, giving visitors an intimate connection with the people behind Egypt’s greatest monuments.

Deir el-Medina is not just an archaeological site — it’s a living archive of ancient human spirit, creativity, and community

Stop 6

Meet the great guardians of ancient Thebes: the legendary Colossi of Memnon!
Standing proudly at the entrance of Luxor’s West Bank, these two massive statues depict Pharaoh Amenhotep III and have endured for over 3,400 years, defying time and the elements.
They became surrounded by myth during the Greco-Roman era, especially due to the mysterious sound one of them would emit at sunrise — believed by the Greeks to be the mourning voice of Memnon’s mother, Eos.
A visit to the Colossi of Memnon is not just a glimpse of two statues — it's a moment in front of a living legend from Egypt’s timeless past.
