Hidden behind the limestone ridges of the Theban Hills lies the most famous burial ground on Earth: the Valley of the Kings. For five centuries during the New Kingdom, this remote canyon was the final resting place for Egypt’s most powerful Pharaohs, including Ramses the Great and the legendary Tutankhamun. Unlike the pyramids of the Old Kingdom, these tombs were carved deep into the rock to protect unimaginable treasures and sacred spells from tomb robbers.
When you book your journey through TourzStore.com, you aren't just looking at empty chambers; you are entering a sacred "Gateway to the Stars." We provide the expert guidance needed to decode the intricate murals and ensure you visit the most vibrant and historically significant tombs available.
The Valley of the Kings can be complex, with different tombs opening on different days. TourzStore.com takes the guesswork out of your visit:
A standard ticket allows you to visit three tombs from a rotating list of available chambers. The "Special Tombs" (Tutankhamun, Seti I, and Ramses VI) require an additional fee. TourzStore.com can pre-arrange these extra tickets so you don't have to wait in line.
For many, seeing the actual mummy of the boy king in his original resting place is a "once-in-a-lifetime" moment. If you are a fan of the history of the 1922 discovery, TourzStore.com highly recommends this addition.
Some tombs have steep ramps or stairs. However, many (like Ramses IV) are relatively flat and accessible. TourzStore.com also utilizes the "electric train" from the visitor center to the tomb area to save you from walking in the heat.
Personal photography with a smartphone is generally allowed in most tombs (without flash). However, professional cameras may require a special permit. Your TourzStore.com guide will keep you updated on the latest site regulations.
Early morning (6:00 AM – 8:00 AM) is best to avoid the intense heat and the crowds. This is why our TourzStore.com West Bank tours usually start at sunrise.
