Bring plenty of water as not a lot of shade. Visit some of the lesser known tombs as they are just as interesting as the better known ones

Dave Mc

It's really, really, hot. If you're going to visit, make sure you bring a lot of water - and plan a tour of Häagen-Dazs afterwards.

Lenka Shevchikova

Quiet place , where all the pharaos rest in peace ...Had an opportunity to see 3 tombs . Cameras are not allowed since one lady inscribed her name into the wall inside the tomb...really insane!

Wan 'Ali

Cameras are not allowed inside, so if you manage to get it in make sure not to get caught or you gonna be in great trouble with the security @ the police .

Dim

Great visit. 3 tombs included into the ticket, we visited 8, 16, 14. 14 was very nice as two chamber.

Aidu F

Go early and have an idea of which tomb you’d like to visit. 3 tombs included in the ticket price.

If you are at Hatshepsot, you could hike the mountain till its other end and you will find Valley of the Kings

Mike Olsen

Um the mummy is there so no, not everything is at the Cairo museum . The other tip is written by an idiot. King tuts tomb is worth the money.

Zina P

Unbelievable beauty here. Really worth to visit. But be careful about the sun

Adri

To see Tutankhamon's tumb you have to pay an extra of 100 Egyptian pounds at the ticket post, they don't accept any other currencies but theirs, so make sure you have enough EPs

Hamad Al Saegh

Check the map section first and prioritize the tombs you want to visit. Get benefit of the visit time :)

Aiman Abdul Haris

Lots of pharaohs were buried here, with well preserved hieroglyphs. It's a pity that you can't snap photos here

reghu mohandas

Must visit! Amazing to see what people achieved 5000 years back!

Valley of the Kings Situated on the ancient site of Thebes, on Luxor's West Bank , the Valley of Kings is the ancient…

Mark Robertshaw

Try to get there in the morning as it's quieter and cooler. Don't bring your cameras as they aren't allowed in.

Tz K

Come in early morning to avoid tourist crowds and burning sun.

DongHai Park

Adri

No pictures or video allowed, leave your cameras at the hotel or transport for safe keeping.

Kirill Kruglyakov

Simply majestic

Stephen Mudge

Ramasses III is an interesting tomb with a kink in the middle.

Hady Raouf

What a place

Andy Candler

If you are an independant trraveller visit early on a Thursday morning when it is most quiet . The coaches and boats have mostly buggered off elsewhere.

Michael Smith

The tomb of Tutankhamen is not worth the money. Everything is at the Cairo Museum .

Aurélien Barré

Un véritable désert aride et un silence glaciale. Les corps des plus grands pharaons ont été enterrer ici. Des fresques de toute beauté vous y attendent, et une atmosphère unique.

Андрей Мироненко

Возьмите воды , головной убор от солнца. Снимать на видео и фото запрещено. Достаточно опуститься в две-три гробницы и с чистой совестью возвращаться в автобус .

Klaus Braus

Geschichte zum einatmen. Für Interessierte echt beeindruckend - Gänsehaut. Zur Zeit 2016/11 wenige Besucher. Schade die sehr eingeschränkten Besichtigungsmöglichkeiten, zum Erhalt abernotwendig.

F.

Giriş 260 egp girişte 3 mezara giriş hakkınız oluyor ticket centerdan ilk noktaya araç var 10 egp dönüşte de alıyor, Tutankhamun için ek para ödemeniz lazım toplamda 63 mezar varmış

Gloria

Любая фото - и видеосъемка на территории ВСЕГО комплекса запрещена. Но всегда можно попытаться.

Rebecca Cirino

Tumbas incriveis!!! A de rameses IV é lindissima

Masaki Kuramochi

カメラが禁止されています。壁画 は従来の赤、青に加えて黄色も使われて、一層鮮やかになっています。太陽信仰に基いた絵は怪しくもあり斬新。

Mariana Costa

Maravilhoso!!!

This tomb isn't always open, and to be honest after you've seen the mold growing in the tombs, it's clear that it's probably better there aren't so many people breathing in there everyday. - Dave Mc
