This ticket includes entry to 3 standard tombs, with upgrade options for selected or all special tombs. The Valley of the Kings is one of the most iconic archaeological sites in the world, serving as the royal burial ground for pharaohs of Egypt’s New Kingdom. Among those laid to rest here are legendary rulers such as Tutankhamun, Ramses II, Tuthmosis III, & Seti I, along with nobles, queens, & royal children. The site is divided into two sections: the East Valley, which contains the majority of tombs, & the West Valley, where only one tomb—the tomb of Ay—is open to visitors. Between 1539 and 1075 BC, more than 60 tombs were carved into the limestone hills on the west bank of the Nile. The site is dominated by the striking peak of al-Qurn, whose pyramidal shape recalls the grandeur of the pyramids at Giza. This was chosen as a royal burial ground to protect pharaohs’ tombs & treasures from the rampant looting that plagued the pyramids of Giza and the Nile Delta.

What you'll see and do
Valley of the Kings
The Valley of the Kings, or the Valley of the Gates of the Kings, is one of the most iconic archaeological sites in Egypt, hiding immense treasures of history beneath its rugged desert landscape. What may appear at first as a barren gorge is, in fact, the final resting place of 63 pharaohs and nobles, including some of the most powerful rulers of the New Kingdom. For nearly 500 years, from the 16th to the 11th century BC, this valley served as a sacred burial ground where kings, their families, and their possessions were entombed in elaborately decorated chambers. Each tomb was designed to guide the deceased into the afterlife, adorned with intricate hieroglyphs and vivid wall paintings depicting religious texts and mythological scenes. There are 63 tombs at the Valley of Kings and out of the 63 tombs, there are eleven tombs in the Valley of the Kings open to the public. Seven of them are included in your standard ticket and for other four you can purchase optionals.

Valley of The Kings Ticket with Skip-the-line Entry & Audio Guide: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Luxor.
How much does Valley of The Kings Ticket with Skip-the-line Entry & Audio Guide cost?
+
Prices start at $26 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 Ticket with Skip-the-line Entry & Audio Guide take?
+
Plan for about 2 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 Ticket with Skip-the-line Entry & Audio Guide worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 45 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 family friendly in Luxor, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.
Can I cancel or reschedule Valley of The Kings Ticket with Skip-the-line Entry & Audio Guide?
+
No. This experience is sold on a non-refundable basis, so only book a date you are confident about. Similar experiences in the city do offer free cancellation if flexibility matters more than price.
Is Valley of The Kings Ticket with Skip-the-line Entry & Audio Guide suitable for kids and families?
+
Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 2-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.
How far in advance should I book Valley of The Kings Ticket with Skip-the-line Entry & Audio Guide?
+
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 2-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does Valley of The Kings Ticket with Skip-the-line Entry & Audio Guide 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 Tour to West bank, Private Half Day Luxor Tour Valley of Kings & Queens, Hatshepsut, 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.
