Unforgettable visit to the Valley of the Kings
The visit to the Valley of the Kings was absolutely fascinating. With guide Amro, an expert in Egyptology, we discovered incredible stories about the pharaohs and the magnificent architecture used for burials. Amro explained everything with extraordinary passion and clarity, making every detail more interesting. In addition, the Temple of Queen Hatshepsut is a must-see masterpiece! Thanks to the perfect organization and modern transportation, the whole day was comfortable and memorable. I highly recommend it!

Amazing history and scenic journey
Thanks to our guide Hany, we were able to visit the Valley of the Kings on the West Bank. Hany is also a good Japanese speaker, and he politely shared his wealth of knowledge about ancient Egyptian history. I was blown away by the magnificence of Queen Hatshepsut's temple, and in front of the Colossus of Memnon I was amazed by its size. Travelling was comfortable, and I didn't expect to experience all this on a day trip. This trip is a must-see for history lovers!

Full-Day tour to Valley of the Kings, Hatshepsut Temple and Memnon: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Luxor.
How much does Full-Day tour to Valley of the Kings, Hatshepsut Temple and Memnon cost?
+
Prices start at $12 per person. The final price depends on the date, the time slot and the number of travelers, and peak weekends in Luxor usually price higher than midweek mornings. Live pricing and remaining availability are confirmed on the booking screen before you pay.
How long does Full-Day tour to Valley of the Kings, Hatshepsut Temple and Memnon take?
+
Plan for about 4 hours from start to finish, not counting travel to the meeting point. Most travelers leave another 30 minutes on either side so the rest of the day in Luxor is not rushed.
Is Full-Day tour to Valley of the Kings, Hatshepsut Temple and Memnon worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 70 out of 100, which we label "Strongly Recommended". That score blends traveler sentiment (5/5 across 7 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable last minute in Luxor, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.
Can I cancel or reschedule Full-Day tour to Valley of the Kings, Hatshepsut Temple and Memnon?
+
Yes. Cancel free up to 24 hours before the start time for a full refund. Inside that window the booking is non-refundable, and no-shows are not refunded.
Is Full-Day tour to Valley of the Kings, Hatshepsut Temple and Memnon suitable for kids and families?
+
Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 4-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.
How far in advance should I book Full-Day tour to Valley of the Kings, Hatshepsut Temple and Memnon?
+
Around 2 people booked this in the last 30 days, so popular slots go early. Two to three weeks ahead is comfortable in shoulder season, while summer weekends and holidays in Luxor can sell out a month out. Same-day spots do open up when other travelers cancel, so it is worth checking if you are already in town.
What should I bring or wear?
+
Bring photo ID, your booking confirmation on your phone, a refillable water bottle and comfortable shoes. Dress for the weather in Luxor and add a light layer if any part of the 4-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does Full-Day tour to Valley of the Kings, Hatshepsut Temple and Memnon start and how do I get there?
+
The exact meeting point and directions are on your voucher once you book, and they sit in central Luxor within reach of public transport. Arrive 15 minutes early: late arrivals are treated as no-shows by most operators.
What are the best things to do in Luxor?
+
On Outty we rank every Luxor experience on the same 0 to 100 scale, and alongside this one the highest scorers right now include Private Half Day Luxor Tour Valley of Kings & Queens, Hatshepsut, Full Day Tour to East and West Banks of Luxor (Private), Private Half day Tour to West bank. The city page groups everything into most popular, highest reviewed, last minute and family-friendly so you can build a day around what actually delivers.
When is the best time to visit Luxor?
+
Booking patterns follow the same curve: prices and queues climb in peak weeks, while shoulder season gives you better availability on the top-ranked experiences and more room to change plans.
How many days do you need in Luxor?
+
Three full days covers the headline sights without sprinting. A workable rhythm is one anchor experience each morning, such as this one, an unhurried afternoon in a single neighborhood, then a food or nightlife booking in the evening. Five days lets you add a day trip outside the city.
Do I book through Outty or through the operator?
+
Outty ranks and explains the experiences, then hands you to Viator to complete the booking with the operator directly. The price is the same as booking on Viator yourself, and Outty earns an affiliate commission on the referral, which is how the rankings stay free to read.
