The Valley of the Kings and the temple of Hatshepsut are amazing treasures to visit but can be challenging in terms of managing the logistics of the experience. I would like you to experience these monuments in a comfortable and personalized way at your own pace and according to what you would like. My tour organizes the transportation and facilitates the purchase of tickets so that you do not have to encounter any hassle at the sites. If you would like for me to arrange for a private guide I can set that up for you. If instead you would like a more relaxed approach to visiting the monuments, you will have the flexibility to see the tombs and temple with a few recommendations from me.

What you'll see and do
Valley of the Kings
The Valley of the Kings features 60 tombs from the Pharaonic era hidden in the side of the mountain. With the ticket you will be able to visit three of them, gaining a glimpse of life from thousands of years ago with the frescoed walls. In addition you will have a ticket to visit the tomb of King Tutankhamon. You can choose to tour these tombs on your own or if you prefer, with a guide. Some of these tombs go deep into the ground. Special tombs like that of Seti I require a separate ticket which you can purchase at the ticket office.

Temple of Hatshepsut
Built for Queen Hatshepsut who acted like a pharaoh this temple is set into the embrace of the mountains. As you approach the temple, you can appreciate its magnificent setting in the larger landscape and procession through the terraces. Made out of a similar material, the columns blend into the mountain, so that the temple seems carved out of the mountainside. The majestic architecture, frescoed paintings and axial views in various directions reinforce the power of Queen Hatshepsut making her contribution to the landscape more memorable than that of her male peers.

Why this scores 47
The Outty Ranking is a weighted composite. Here is how this experience performed on each component.
Valley of the Kings and Hatshepsut Temple: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Luxor.
How much does Valley of the Kings and Hatshepsut Temple cost?
+
Prices start at $92 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 Valley of the Kings and Hatshepsut Temple take?
+
Plan for about 1.5 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 Valley of the Kings and Hatshepsut Temple worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 47 out of 100, which we label "Worth a Look". That score blends traveler sentiment (0/5 across 0 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 Valley of the Kings and Hatshepsut Temple?
+
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 Valley of the Kings and Hatshepsut Temple suitable for kids and families?
+
Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 1.5-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.
How far in advance should I book Valley of the Kings and Hatshepsut Temple?
+
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 1.5-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does Valley of the Kings and Hatshepsut Temple 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.

+

+
