What people love about Valley Of The Kings Tours
- Holiday In Egypt 4 Days – 3 Nights 5* Nile Cruise From Cairo by Flight
We bought the cruise tickets, months before the actual date, during those months Mohamed answered all our questions and was very nice. Near the cruise date, he sent us the internal flights tickets, and I was very surprised that the flight from Luxor to Cairo was planned to midnight, when the tour would end at noon. I sent him a message right away, asking to change the flights since that time would not work for us. I followed up in that request, and the answer was always the same, I will see if it's possible. The trip date arrived and we started our cruise. We had an amazing guide (not sure how to spell his name but is something like Ahmur), our trip in Egypt lasted 1 week, 3 days besides the cruise, and he was the best person we met during the whole experience. He was the one person that did not asked us for money for every single thing that he did for us. He was funny, nice and so helpful. Our trip was good thanks to him. We spend 4 days with him and he took us to all the amazing places, as if was not enough to be there, he scheduled some of the tours earlier so we could arrive in the place before all the other tourists, more than once we had temples just for us, the pictures are amazing. Regarding that Luxor plan ticket that I talked about, once we were in Egypt we bought a chip with an egyptian phone number and then we started communicating regularly with Mohamed, on the 2nd day of the tour my husband asked him if he had changed the tickets, and he didn't. In the end we need to pay almost a new ticket to be able to change the time of the flight. I am sure if the change was made when I asked (weeks before) it would be much less expensive. Another issue we had, was about the 4th day of the tour, in the description on the website, there was an '(optional)' before the paragraph that describe the hot air balloon tour, and then the tour for Karnak and Luxor temple is described in a different paragraph, giving the impression that is included. But it's not, so, in fact you buy a 4 days tours experience, and if you don't pay extra you will actually have just 3 days. As we did not want to spend the day 'doing nothing' the whole day, we decided to pay for this 'optional' tour, after we clarified the confusion. We would still recommend the service, due to our amazing guide and to the close support we had from Mohamed during the trip. But as a warning, go prepared to spent more money than planned. And as a suggestion for Real Life Egypt: - When a customer request a change on a plan ticket, try and see that in advance as we all know, ticket plans tend to get more expensive near the trip date. - Improve the description of the tour, adding 'Optional' in every paragraph that describe the tours, just to avoid any confusion and breaking expectations.
- Discover Egypt, Cairo & Nile Cruise W/internal Flights
The best tour we have ever had. Everything was taken care of arrival airport transfer,hotel in cairo,hotel in luxor and hotel in aswan, Our tour through Cairo Luxor Aswan and Abu simbel went so smoothly Mac and his team were able to put an amazing itinerary together for our family within the budget we provided Trip to Abu Simbel. It was an amazing experience to be completely in the dessert and witness mirages, see the High Aswan Dam and also see a relocated antiquity of Ramses II. It would be hard not to love Abu Simbel, as the site is so incredible If I ever go back to Egypt again, I would absolutely book another touring with truly egypt Tours.

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.
