Create an itinerary including Valley of the Kings
Journey back in time by visiting Valley of the Kings, one of the world's most significant archaeological sites, dating back to the Egyptian New Kingdom. The area contains about 63 tombs and chambers, final resting places of pharaohs and nobles. A handful of tombs, including that of Tutankhamen, have been opened to the public--with its artwork and layout, it remains indicative of ancient Egyptian ingenuity.

  • Valley of the Kings is definitely worth a visit. Burial chambers with incredible decorations on the walls that tell a story. An insanely large piece of work in each and every burial chamber...

  • A truly amazing place!!, We visited Rameses I,III, IX, and of course, the boy King's tomb where we stood 3ft from Tut himself. The landscape is awesome, and the detail still visible in some of the tombs is ... just WOW!!, and when we visited you could take photo / video
  • Impressive site but guides cannot enter the tombs with you. So if you are not aware of Egypt history and tomb rituals don’t have too high expectations. Make sure you arrive early because we had a huge queue (waiting time 45 minutes). Make sure you select a qualified guide (many are just learning something by heart and are not qualified at all).
  • This is mind blowing! 4500 years ago the Egyptian made these tombs deep into the mountains in honour of the kings and Queens. 4500 years later they are still intact and the writing and pictures to honour them are just amazing!
  • Goes without saying that you must visit if staying in Luxor. The tombs are incredible to see in person. Each tomb requires quite a few steep steps to navigate with varying depths. The colors are rich with fine details throughout. While Tuts tomb is popular, it was the least impressive of those I saw. An incredible experience overall.
  • Impressive place! One ticket gives you access to visit three tombs of your choice. Except for the tomb of Tut Ankh Amun. With this one you need a different ticket. It is like a sauna being inside the tombs and it can get busy especially when people stop too long while taking pictures so be prepared!
