Luxor
À propos
Step off the tour bus and into the rhythm of real life on Luxor’s West Bank.

Colosses de Memnon
Stop at the Colossi of Memnon — capture stunning photos and hear their haunting legend.
Two immense seated statues greet the rising sun on Luxor’s West Bank. These weathered guardians once flanked the temple of Amenhotep III. Hear the legend of their mysterious “singing” sound that echoed through antiquity — a melody of wind and stone that drew pilgrims from Rome to Thebes.

Vallée des artisans (Deir el-Médineh)
Tucked between the cliffs of Luxor’s West Bank lies Deir el-Medina, the ancient Village of the Artisans — a remarkably preserved community that offers one of the most intimate glimpses into daily life in Pharaonic Egypt. Unlike the grand royal tombs of the Valley of the Kings, this humble settlement was home to the skilled craftsmen, painters, and stonemasons who built those eternal monuments.
What makes the site extraordinary is the wealth of written records and personal tombs left behind. The villagers filled their own tombs with stunningly colorful artwork — scenes of worship, banquets, and family affection that reveal both artistry and humanity rarely seen elsewhere. Inscriptions on ostraca (limestone flakes) record their wages, work schedules, and even love poems, giving modern visitors an unparalleled look into their world.
