The tour was not well guided or explained; conditions are harsh. English guide was difficult to understand and could not answer most questions outside of the rehearsed script. As females get solicited more in Eygpt, I expected the tour guide to be protective of his customers- he was useless. They try and force extras into the itinerary to get you to spend money so you need to be firm that you don't want their stops for bad restaurants and scam shops.

The tombs were built by the workers who made the Valley of the Kings but they were made for themselves, the artwork and detail is really good. The tombs are relatively small and you need to watch your head and be co
