Hotel pickup, a private guide and all transfers are included, while entry tickets and lunch depend on the option you choose.

What you will see

• Valley of the Kings – the tombs of New Kingdom pharaohs, cut deep into the desert hills.
• Valley of the Queens – burial place of royal wives and princes, with painted tomb walls.
• Temple of Hatshepsut – the terraced temple of the 18th Dynasty queen-pharaoh at Deir el-Bahari.
• Medinat Habu – the mortuary temple of Ramesses III, with some of the best-preserved reliefs on the West Bank.
• Deir el-Medina – the village of the craftsmen who built the royal tombs.
• Colossi of Memnon – two giant statues of Amenhotep III.

Good to know

It is a full and active day with plenty of walking in the sun, so bring water, a hat and good shoes. The standard tickets give access to a selection of tombs; special tombs such as Tutankhamun’s, Seti I’s or Nefertari’s need separate tickets.

You can book the full option with car, guide, entry tickets and lunch, or a lighter option if you prefer to arrange tickets yourself.
