We made our way via an organised tour (rapsody tours) from Safaga. We arrived in the sweltering desert sun and managed to see 3 tombs including Ramses and king Tut (which contains his original mummy). Well organised site and and well preserved (unlike Giza). No photos allowed!!

I'm not a massive fan of ancient monuments but this really took my breath away, I'm glad I did it and will never forget the truly amazing sites I saw in three of tombs ( 63 in the valley of the kings ) some of the tombs are not recommended if you have difficulty in walking.

Being able to point and say "king" in 10 differant... More

Driving from the cruise-ship was an exciting experience - we have all heard so much about The Valley of the Kings - we were taken from the coach park in small land trains into the area where many of the tombs have been excavated - Keralis our guide had chosen three tombs that he felt showed a variety of interesting...

You cannot not visit the valley of the Kings. Your entry ticket allows you into 3 tombs. If you want to visit Kings Tut's tomb it is an extra 100LE
