What To Expect

Tomb of Ramses III

The tomb of Ramesses III, designated as KV 11, is a complex system in the Valley of the Kings. It has been known since antiquity,the wonderful decorations include colourful painted sunken reliefs featuring the traditional ritual texts (Litany of Ra, Book of Gates etc) and Ramses before the gods. Unusual here are the secular scenes, in the small side rooms of the entrance corridor, showing foreign tributes, such as highly detailed pottery imported from the Aegean, the royal armoury, boats and, in the last of these side chambers, the blind harpists that gave the tomb one of its alternative names: ‘Tomb of the Harpers’

Valley of the Kings

First you will be transported to the Necropolis of Thebes, the Valley of the Kings on the West Bank of Luxor. This ancient necropolis is a must-see for Luxor travelers. There you visit four royal tombs, including the Tomb of Ramses, the Tomb of Horemheb, the Tomb of Merenptah and of course the Tomb of King Tut. The tomb of Tutankhamun is the only tomb in Valley of the Kings that was discovered nearly intact in 1922. The discoverer of his tomb was Howard Carter. Tut's famous golden mask is on display at the Egyptian Museum in Cairo, but here you have the opportunity to be amazed at the royal mummy of the young king. After visiting the tombs you will be transported to the Temple of Queen Hatshepsut (Deir el Bahari),

We had a great day. Saw all the things we wanted to see and our guide was very helpful. The only thing I would recommend is research the price for all places of admission because they are expensive. Also, we brought our children who were charged as adults because we did not know to bring their student cards. It made for a very expensive day! The alabaster factory was awesome. The workers are excellent and I wanted to tip each and every one. Wish I got a video of their performance. It is my only regret. So don’t forget student cards and being a thick wallet.
Ragab tour guide excellent

Ragab was very helpful, we booked the wrong day and they were very professional and made it work! Provided great information and tour guide was not pushy and helped us navigate the city.
Worth it!

Ahmed made this a wonderful experience. The way the tour was planned was great. He was smart about the times he took us to each location in order to avoid the crowds. He was very knowledgeable about the history and he was delightful to be around. His driver was also very nice and the car was cool and clean. Also, the place he took us for lunch was truly delicious. So far my favorite meals I’ve had so far. Highly recommend.

Luxor is by far one of my favourite cities in Egypt. It is littered with the ancient world. It is absolutely worth the trip to visit these places on the West Bank. If you are a student remember your student card/ID to get the student discount and carry a lot of water with you!

Everything was good a few of the tombs were closed. The gift shop workers are very pushy and would not take a firm no for an answer. Wear dark shades so you don't have to look there way. Our guide was very knowledgeable. We felt very safe.
Best tour ever

Khaled did an amazing job explaining the history of ancient Egypt and showing us all the great spots. He was so knowledgeable and we were thoroughly impressed. Definitely recommend seeing Queen Nefertiti tomb as the colours where outstanding which was 1400 Egyptian pounds per person and we also went to see king tuts tomb which was still good but a lot smaller as his reign was for a small time however his tomb was very cool to see especially as his mummified body is still there! To see king tuts tomb was an additional 300 Egyptian pounds per person but again I think it was worth seeing. Very amazing experience and would recommend this to everyone and to specifically as for the tour guide Khaled. He was amazing and also very helpful with taking photos of my partner and I. Thank you Khaled for everything 😊
Great day

A guide who's actually a trained Egyptologist, grew up on the West Bank, with terrific English and a professional, flexible and thoughtful approach-- who could ask for better than that? Omar made sure that I got everything that I could out of our day together, and I expect that he will for you, too.
