The Valley of Kings is the ancient burial ground of many of Egypt’s New Kingdom Pharaohs

A truly impressive site! There, you will find Tutankhamen’s tomb which was discovered almost intact in 1922 and the tomb of Ramses IV, among others. A ticket will allow you visiting 3 of the 63 tombs on site, except Tutankhamen’s tomb.

The tombs have suffered greatly from treasure hunters, floods in the past and in recent years, from mass tourism: carbon dioxide, friction and humidity taking photos with flash inside the tombs produced by the average of 2.8g of sweat left by each visitor have affected the reliefs and the pigments of the wall paintings. The ministry of Antiquities has installed dehumidifiers and glass screens in the worst-affected tombs and introduced a rotation system for opening tombs to the public while restoring others

Duration: 3 hours

Pass By: Colossi of Memnon, Thebes, Luxor Egypt

The Colossi of Memnon are two massive stone statues of the Pharaoh Amenhotep III, who reigned in Egypt during the Dynasty XVIII. For the past 3,400 years, they have stood in the Theban Necropolis, located west of the River Nile from the modern city of Luxor

Absolute must if you are visiting Luxor. Dina Danial, our Egyptologist guide, was truly outstanding. She was so knowledgeable and passionate about the ancient sites we visited that it made the day unique and wonderful. Ask for her if you can - she is exceptional. We found the tour incredibly interesting and learned so much. Particularly loved visiting the Tomb of Tutankhamen we paid extra for this as this had been a childhood dream. The lunch was local and authentic Egyptian - truly delicious! All in all, we would highly recommend this tour. It was informative, awe-inspiring and flexible to our needs.
