Map

  • Your standard ticket includes entry to three royal tombs. Your guide will recommend the best ones based on current conditions and crowds. Please note that tickets for special tombs like Tutankhamun or Seti I require an additional purchase on-site.

  • The tour involves a significant amount of walking, often in the sun and over uneven ground in the Valley of the Kings. While it is manageable for most, it can be challenging for those with mobility issues. Comfortable shoes, a hat, and plenty of water are essential.

  • The West Bank was the "City of the Dead," dedicated to funerary rituals and the afterlife. It's home to the royal tombs (Valley of the Kings) and mortuary temples. The East Bank was the "City of the Living," where the great temples for worshiping the gods, like Karnak, were built.

  • The tour includes all main entrance fees, lunch, and transport. Any additional costs would be for drinks, souvenirs, or extra tickets for specific tombs in the Valley of the Kings (e.g., Tutankhamun) or a visit to the Luxor Museum.

  • Karnak is not just a single temple but a vast complex that was built and expanded by over 30 pharaohs across 2,000 years. It is the largest religious building ever constructed and was the most important place of worship in ancient Egypt during the New Kingdom.
