What travelers are saying
- aspoe093Pierre, SD733 contributionsMan what an amazing place. With your ticket you get 3 tombs to visit. Not all tombs are available on the ticket like Tuts but you can purchase what tombs you want if you want extra. The three tombs we chose were amazing an unique. I am amazed at how colorful the tombs were. There is no shade in this place so come early and you will be able to see tombs without tons of people there.Written January 20, 2025This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- Michael J2 contributionsDo wonderful place the spend a happy time. The temple is very big and it's better to visit in early morning before the crowded.

- aspoe093Pierre, SD733 contributionsWe visited Luxor Temple after Karnak as they are not to far apart. Luxor Temple had easy access to the Ave. of the Sphinxs which was really neat to see. The temple was in pretty good shape and amazing to see. Can see Egyptian influence and also there is some Chrisitan paintings and carvings in thereWritten January 20, 2025This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- aspoe093Pierre, SD733 contributionsMost of the temple is destroyed and defaced due to Hatshepusut's son. My favorite part of the temple was the walk up to the temple and the scenery around it. Solid temple but with so much defaced not as great as others.Written January 20, 2025This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- MonaIsmaeilEdmonton, Canada133 contributionsYou will pay extra to see this site when visiting the Valley of the Kings. What is unique is that here you can see the mummy of King Tut. His body is very well preserved and you can see the details like how toes, hair, and teeth. Definitely worth the little bit extra.Written December 21, 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC. Tripadvisor performs checks on reviews.
- Robert DBrooklyn, New York5,304 contributionsThis magnificent tomb is worth the extra ticket you need to purchase to enter. Nefertari was the principal wife of Ramesses II. Notice Nefertari's dark skin. She was a Nubian. The tomb is richly decorated and quite impressive.
I later found out from my tour guide that Nefertari's tomb closed for renovations the day after we visited. We were among the last tourists to be able to visit it.Written May 1, 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- Stacey KirkupLondon, UK88 contributionsSo interesting and to think it was built thousands of years ago. I would love to have seen it in its full glory. Very impressiveWritten January 5, 2025This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC. Tripadvisor performs checks on reviews.
- aspoe093Pierre, SD733 contributionsMassive statues that are really cool to see. Basically, we stopped to take a photo and spent around 10 minutes there. That is all you really need, but the size of these are a marvelWritten January 20, 2025This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- abarr11London, UK17 contributionsAre you an animal lover? If so, this is an absolute must to visit when you are in Luxor. Do you ever look at the hard working horses and donkeys around Luxor and feel sorry for them? If so, it is worth taking yourself to the wonderful place that is Animal Care in Egypt, to see that there are people striving to make the world a better place for these beautiful creatures. There is a place for owners to wash their horses and donkeys, and a drop-in clinic for first aid, as well as a hospital for housing more extreme cases until they are well enough to go home. You can visit, you can volunteer and you can support their work with a donation. this is a UK and Egypt based charity. I cannot recommend it highly enough.Written January 7, 2025This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC. Tripadvisor performs checks on reviews.
- Co LNorth Willoughby, Australia13 contributionsThe village of Deir el Medina, home of the workers who built the royal tombs KV, and their tombs are well worth the visit. Being return visitors with reasonable knowledge we simply found a taxi driver, Asem, with good English who knew exactly where we wanted to go from the corniche in Luxor across to the West Bank. Negotiated a price that included waiting and then taking us on to some specific nobles tombs before returning us to our hotel. Much cheaper than a guide and private tour.Written October 9, 2023This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC. Tripadvisor performs checks on reviews.
- Susan CMelbourne, Australia1,538 contributionsKV 11 Rameses III is a long descending corridor tomb punctuated with multiple chambers, two of them, including the burial chamber, with pillars. There are multiple small decorated chambers and niches off the first two corridors. It is another tomb with well preserved paintings and sunken reliefs on the walls, pillars and some ceilings. Glass panels protect the paintings. This was one of our guide's top 3 recommendations of the three tombs included in the Valley of the Kings entry fee.Written April 8, 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- lovetoholidayannette11 contributionsWe visited at about 3pm and apart from a small tour group, had the place to ourselves.
Immense columns still with coloured hieroglyphics.
Enormous statue of Ramses (toppled but still impressive)
Would definitely recommend a visit.Written November 27, 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

But if you have already been during the day I don't think it's really worth the effort. We only went as our schedule didn't permit a day visit.
As we were leaving we could hear the Arabic session starting and I wished we had done that one as you wouldn't have to try to get to grips with the rather hard to follow English soundtrack and could just enjoy the flood light temple.
I expect the Arabic one is cheaper too !Written January 11, 2025This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

He was able to explain all about the obelisk and its partner one that is no longer in situ.Written August 29, 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.
