Overview

Experience the fascinating Valley of the Kings with your own qualified Egyptologist guide on this 4-hour morning private tour from Luxor.

Hassan was amazing. He was on time and extremely knowledgeable. He was also great with our kids (age 7 and 11). We had a wonderful time and experience and would recommend anyone to take advantage of this opportunity.

We had a great half day tour from Luxor to the Valley of the Kings during which our experienced and knowledgable guide Abdul explained all that we needed to know. We then booked a second trip out with Abdul two days later, visiting the Temple of Hatshepsut.

He was incredibly knowledgeable about the history of the Valley of the Kings, and he shared fascinating stories and insights throughout the tour.
