What To Expect

Valley of the Kings

Your Egyptology guide will collect you from your Luxor hotel or cruise ship at a time of your choosing between 7 and 9am. This is a private tour, so how long you spend at each of the sites on the itinerary is entirely up to you. Cross the Nile River to the West Bank, the city of the dead for the ancient city of Thebes, known as Luxor today. It\'s a scenic, 45-minute drive through lush crop fields and desolate sandstone mountains to your first stop, the Valley of the Kings. Along the way, your guide will point out the simple house where Howard Carter lived during his search for Tutankhamun\'s tomb. This desolate sandstone valley is where the kings of Thebes were buried. After you pay the entrance fee and take a quick look at the visitor\'s center, your guide will escort you to three richly decorated tombs: guides are not allowed inside the tombs, but he will tell you each mausoleum\'s story and what to look for. Should you wish to visit the Tomb of King Tut, an additional fee is payable.
