The Valley of the Kings is an amazing area to explore, so full of history and should not be missed on a visit through Egypt. Here lies the Kings and Nobles of Egypt from 16th to the 11th century BC, including the famous Tutankhamun or Tutankhamen. Your entry price gets into 3 of the 63 discovered tombs of your choosing. Your stealth will get you into a few more.



Following the Valley of the Kings we explore the Valley of the Queens (note you can’t take photos in the Valley of the Kings or the Valley of the Queens), Deir el-Medina – which is the village home to some of the artists who worked on the Valley of the Kings.
