    What you'll see and do

    1. Valley of the Kings

      The Valley of Kings is the ancient burial ground of many of Egypt’s New Kingdom Pharaohs A truly impressive site! There, you will find Tutankhamen’s tomb which was discovered almost intact in 1922 and the tomb of Ramses IV, among others. A ticket will allow you visiting 3 of the 63 tombs on site, except Tutankhamen’s tomb. The tombs have suffered greatly from treasure hunters, floods in the past and in recent years, from mass tourism: carbon dioxide, friction and humidity taking photos with flash inside the tombs produced by the average of 2.8g of sweat left by each visitor have affected the reliefs and the pigments of the wall paintings. The ministry of Antiquities has installed dehumidifiers and glass screens in the worst-affected tombs and introduced a rotation system for opening tombs to the public while restoring others

    Great trip to Egypt with Look at Egypt Tours

    We spent 14 days with Look at Egypt Tours from October 23 to November 5, 2023 and the tours, their organization of our time, the guides and the locations were all just excellent. We started at the Pyramids, flew to Luxor and did the cruise to Aswan. We saw Luxor, Karnak, Valley of the Kings, Edfu, Kom Ombo, Dendara and Hatshepsut's temple. Then off to Aswan on the River Cruise. The cruise was superb. We visited Philae, the Nubian museum and gardens and the Nubian village with their crocodiles. Then back to Cairo for the Egyptian Museum, Museum of Egyptian Civilization, mosques, bazaars and restaurants. It was a wonderful trip. We always felt safe at all our sites. The hotels were superb and the transportation first class, from camels to air conditioned buses. Thank you to Look at Egypt Tours for a wonderful visit to Egypt.

    Response from the operator: thank you so much for the fantastic 5-star review! We're absolutely delighted you had such a wonderful time with Look at Egypt Tours. We truly appreciate you sharing your experience and hope to see you exploring Egypt with us again very soon

    Luxor Archaeology Tour: Valley of the Kings, Karnak, Luxor Temples & More: questions travelers ask

    Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Luxor.

    How much does Luxor Archaeology Tour: Valley of the Kings, Karnak, Luxor Temples & More cost?

    +

    Prices start at $75 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 Luxor Archaeology Tour: Valley of the Kings, Karnak, Luxor Temples & More take?

    +

    Plan for about 7 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 Luxor Archaeology Tour: Valley of the Kings, Karnak, Luxor Temples & More worth it?

    +

    It holds an Outty Ranking of 55 out of 100, which we label "Worth a Look". That score blends traveler sentiment (5/5 across 1 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 Luxor Archaeology Tour: Valley of the Kings, Karnak, Luxor Temples & More?

    +

    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 Luxor Archaeology Tour: Valley of the Kings, Karnak, Luxor Temples & More suitable for kids and families?

    +

    Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 7-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.

    How far in advance should I book Luxor Archaeology Tour: Valley of the Kings, Karnak, Luxor Temples & More?

    +

    Around 0 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 7-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.

    Where does Luxor Archaeology Tour: Valley of the Kings, Karnak, Luxor Temples & More 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), Full Day Tour of Luxor private. 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.
