Descend into the gilded tombs of Egypt's greatest pharaohs in the Valley of the Kings — including Tutankhamun's burial chamber — guided by a private Egyptologist on a full-day journey from Safaga Port.
What to expect
A private, air-conditioned vehicle collects you at Safaga Port for the two-hour drive to the West Bank of Luxor. Your certified Egyptologist unlocks the mythology, hieroglyphics, and dynastic drama inside three to four royal tombs included in your ticket. The scale and silence of the necropolis — 63 tombs cut into golden limestone cliffs — is genuinely humbling. After the Valley, the itinerary typically continues to the Temple of Hatshepsut at Deir el-Bahari, one of the most architecturally dramatic buildings in the ancient world.
Good to know
Full-day tour runs approx. 10–11 hours; confirm all-aboard time with ship and communicate to operator. Valley of the Kings standard ticket covers 3 tombs (EGP 360 / ~USD 11); Tutankhamun's tomb is an extra EGP 360. Pre-book at least 48 hours ahead; private tours sell out in peak season (Oct–Apr). Comfortable closed-toe shoes and sun protection essential.
