Valley of the Kings

About the Site

The Valley of the Kings, on Luxor's west bank, was the burial place of Egypt's New Kingdom pharaohs for about 500 years. More than sixty tombs have been found, cut deep into the rock.

Their walls are painted with scenes from the journey through the underworld. The standard ticket includes three tombs, and extra tickets open the tombs of Tutankhamun, Seti I and Ramses V and VI.

Visiting tips

Go at opening time, bring water and a hat, and note that photography rules can differ by tomb.
