What people love about Valley Of The Kings Tours
- Nile Jewel - 5* Cruise
What an amazing experience ... I wish I could go back. From the moment we landed we were greeted by wonderful, friendly staff. Everyone went out of their way to make sure we were looked after. Ramy even organised a surprise birthday cake for me. The tour guides were fantastic, very passionate about what they do, Ramez was amazing and made sure we had the best experience possible!! I would most certainly recommend them to anyone wanting to visit Egypt.
- 10 Day Egypt Experience (Grand Egyptian Museum Special)
Magdy and his staff were wonderful. Everything was very professionally arranged and managed. We had extra days, Magdy customized the itinerary to suite our liking so we thoroughly enjoyed every aspect of it without getting stressed for time, and we utilized the time very effectively. All the guides and representatives were very knowledgeable, helpful and courteous - special mention to Ibrahim, our guide for Luxor/Aswan, he was absolutely amazing and like a dear friend. He went out of his way by making special arrangements and even helped with matters on the cruise ship. Egypt is an enchanting place, but it was be even more memorable due to the excellent vacationstogo team.

When is the best time of year to visit Valley of the Kings on a Country Region tour?
Plan your Valley of the Kings visit between October and April for temperatures between 68-86°F (20-30°C). This weather makes exploring the ancient tombs more comfortable. A TourRadar traveler noted "Early morning starts are tricky but necessary to beat the heat and crowds." The summer months from June through September often see temperatures above 104°F (40°C) which can make tomb exploration difficult. Winter brings cool mornings that warm up nicely for touring. Many visitors choose to stay at the Steigenberger El Tahrir hotel in Luxor as a starting point for early valley visits.
What type of accommodation can I expect on a general Valley of The Kings tour?
Your stay will vary between 4-5 star hotels and Nile cruise ships. Common hotel choices include the Steigenberger El Tahir Hotel in Cairo and Basma Aswan Hotel in Aswan. River cruise options feature vessels like the MS Chateau Lafayette and MS Nile Quest. A TourRadar traveler shared: "The cruise was excellent and they upgraded us after the experience at the Citymax hotel. The accommodation varied from excellent 4-star to more basic options."
What's included in a typical Valley of the Kings tour package?
Standard packages cover professional Egyptologist guides air-conditioned transport hotel stays at places like the Steigenberger Royale in Luxor and entry to the main valley complex. Most tours connect the valley with nearby sites according to TourRadar data. Extra costs usually include additional tomb entries ($100-300 total) and guide tips ($8-10 daily).
What are the must-see highlights during a general tour of Valley of The Kings?
Key sites include the Valley of the Kings burial chambers Temple of Queen Hatshepsut Karnak Temple complex and Luxor Temple. The Colossi of Memnon and Temple of Philae should also be on your list. A TourRadar traveler noted: "The Valley of the Kings was incredible the sites are unreal and our guide made the experience even more enjoyable with his stories and passion for Egyptian history." The Mortuary Temple of Queen Hatshepsut at El Deir El Bahari offers particularly interesting architecture and history.
How long should I plan to spend exploring Valley of The Kings region?
Set aside at least 4-5 days to explore the Valley of The Kings area properly. Standard tours often include 3-4 days in Luxor with stays at places like the Basma Aswan Hotel plus time in nearby Aswan and Kom Ombo. A TourRadar traveler noted "We had the perfect amount of time at each site with our guide Saad ensuring we didn't miss anything while still having time to really appreciate each location."
How physically demanding are GENERAL tours in the Valley of the Kings area?
Tour operators label these trips as "Easy" but expect significant walking on uneven ground often in warm weather especially at sites like the Valley of the Kings and Karnak Temple. One TourRadar traveler reported: "The tour averages 10000-14000 steps daily though you can opt to walk less if needed." The Nile cruise portions on ships like the MS Nile Quest provide more relaxed viewing opportunities.
