What people love about Valley Of The Kings Tours
- 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.

- Holiday In Egypt 4 Days – 3 Nights Nile Cruise From Cairo by Flight
This trip is definitely a go-to for whoever wants to discover the most incredible highlights of Aswan and Luxor in a very practical and convenient way! I was looking for a cruise on the Nile but did not know well what to expect or even how to choose among the several tours offered online. After many indecisions (and to be perfectly honest headaches) I found this amazing tour from Holiday in Egypt on Tour Radar which was including everything I wanted. This 3 nights 4 days tour has a great itinerary that includes the main historical sites of both locations and more! The best thing that helped taking my decision was that the tour includes the flights tickets from Cairo to Aswan and from Luxor to Cairo which remove the stress of having to arrange your own transfer to reach the cruise. The tour started at 1pm - I took the 11.30am domestic flight from Cairo to Aswan as I arrived to Cairo in the early morning - and we started with the guided visits straight after lunch. The tour ended at 8am in Luxor as I had my domestic flight at 2.30pm from Luxor to Cairo, so we manage to fit some activities in the morning. I am not going to mention how incredible each temples and sites we’ve visited were as there are just so much words can describe - breathtaking, jaw dropping, unreal ? The cruiseship is spacious and has a nice sundeck with pool and the restaurant has plenty vegetarian options. All meals are buffet style and offer local dishes, especially during the oriental night. The team is super friendly and organized daily and night time activities. Do not miss the belly dancing show! Just be aware that there is no free internet onboard. I want to especially thanks my private tour guide Mr Alaa Abdou who has been extraordinarily since the day I confirmed my booking. He was available to answer all my queries, concerns and questions - even for small little things that can stress someone’s out - really he took great care of the overall organization of the trip. You can just show up at Cairo airport and he will ensure you have the best time ever. Simply relax and follow the guide! It was especially reassuring for me to have him by my sides all the steps along the way as I was a solo female traveler and it was my first time doing such a journey. Once in a lifetime experience! I discovered such fantastic historical sites such as Phylae Temple, Abu Simbel temples, Kom Ombo temple, Luxor Temple, Karnak Temple, Valley of the kings and Hatshepsut Temple. The highlight of the trip - and I recommend to take this optional activity - was the Hot air balloon’s flight over the Nile at sunrise. Unreal! I can’t believe we did so much in only 4 days! ?? The itinerary proposed is really well time-managed for you to have time to discover the sites completely and to enjoy some free time as well to rest on the boat. The tour is very comprehensive and I believe the overall price is way cheaper than if you had to pay for everything separately, and stress-free! Alaa shared his knowledge about antique Egypt, the history behind each monument and was always proposing different options and alternatives to tailored this trip like I wanted. He offered such an incredible service by being my very own private tour guide, I recommend his services ? He was always going extra miles to ensure I was not missing anything, to the organization of extending my guided tour in Cairo. Thanks a ton for everything and hope to see you again!

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.
