The Valley of the Kings should really be called the Valley of the Rulers. In this area is where you will find the Tombs of various Pharaohs (both male and female Pharaohs). When visiting the site, the general ticket will get you into three tombs which can change from time to time. There are other Tombs that you can gain access to that are an additional fee. The first Tomb we explored was the Tomb of Merenptah. This is one of the three tombs included in our general ticket. It’s a site to see and a great tomb to explore first. Note, it gets hot in the Tombs and going earlier in the day is recommended.
A Must-See: The Valley of the Kings The Valley of the Kings absolutely blew me away. On the surface, as you walk in, the entrances to the tombs don’t look like much — just simple openings cut into the hillside. But don’t be fooled. The real magic is hidden underground. Once you step inside, the tombs are nothing short of astonishing: vivid colours, intricate carvings, and plenty of corridors that feel like you’re travelling back thousands of years. There are 62 tombs in total, not all are accessible, and honestly, you’d never know where to start without a good guide. A standard ticket gives you entry to three tombs of your choice, so having a knowledgeable guide is essential — they’ll tell you exactly which ones are worth your time and which to skip (because not all tombs are created equal!). Additionalmproves for entry to Tut's timber and 2 others - we have not paid as it seems the 3 earlier were enought to astinosh. If you’re heading to Luxor, the Valley of the Kings is unmissable. Go for the history, stay for the jaw-dropping art hidden beneath the desert floor. Pro tips: make sure you have good guide as their story will bring it to life, it's in the desert so make sure you covered and have plenty of water/drinks with you, be aware of scammers on site.
The Valley of the Kings is one of Egypt’s most breathtaking archaeological sites, chosen as a secret burial ground to protect New Kingdom pharaohs from tomb robbers. Hidden deep in a desert canyon, it contains around 63 known tombs, each carved into the mountainside with incredible detail. Walking through the valley feels surreal—silent, harsh, and filled with ancient history. The tombs we visited were stunning, with vivid colors and beautifully preserved reliefs that reveal the pharaohs’ journey to the afterlife. Despite all the precautions, almost every tomb here was looted in antiquity—except for the tomb of Tutankhamun, the only royal burial found nearly intact. It remains one of the valley’s greatest stories and a highlight for any visitor to Luxor.
Absolutely stunning!! This place is second best place to visit in Egypt after pyramids. Amazing sights and if you get a guide it is so much history in one place it is unbelievable. Tutankamon tomb has his mummy inside!!!
This place is incredible; it was honestly the highlight of my trip to Luxor. The drive from the ticket office to the valley is a very memorable experience!! The Valley isn’t far from Luxor city but it feels like you’re in the middle of the desert. This place was the last stop of our tour, and with it also being 40C, it was absolutely exhausting. However so worth it! Beware of workers trying to take your phone from your hands to take pictures and then ask for a tip. I’ve seen it happen to others and they also tried to do that with me, thankfully I turned away before they managed to grab my phone. There’s also a bazaar with souvenirs and clothing - the workers aren’t too pushy which is good. The landscape of the mountains is gorgeous, and the walls are beautifully decorated. The actually tombs itself are covered. Take lots of water with you. I highly recommend coming here.
