Keep for day 1More about this tour
- In a vehicle
- Short drives between three sites on the West Bank
- At the sites
- About 4 hours, most of it at the sites

- Private
- Best time
- Early morning, before the West Bank heats up
Our tip: Take this after the Valley of the Kings, not instead of it: it makes more sense once you have seen the royal tombs these people built.
