Valley of the Kings Guided Tour from Luxor
Step into the burial ground of Egypt's most powerful pharaohs on this comprehensive guided tour of the Valley of the Kings. Located on the west bank of the Nile, this ancient necropolis houses over 60 tombs carved into limestone cliffs, including the final resting places of Tutankhamun and Ramses II. Your expert guide brings these 3,000-year-old burial chambers to life, explaining the intricate wall paintings, hieroglyphic inscriptions, and burial rituals that made these tombs fit for royalty.
The tour includes comfortable roundtrip transport from your Luxor accommodation, taking you across the Nile to explore several tombs with remarkably preserved murals depicting the pharaohs' journey to the afterlife. You'll learn about the discovery of Tutankhamun's tomb in 1922 and understand why this valley was chosen as the sacred burial ground for New Kingdom rulers.
