Upon your arrival, meet your guide, who will be waiting for you outside the arrival hall with a sign of your name, to start your day tour by driving to the west bank for about 40 minutes to visit the Valley of the Kings, the original burial site of the boy King Tutankhamun, where the magnificent Tombs were discovered carved deep into the desert rock, richly decorated and filled with treasures for the afterlife of the Pharaohs, and have the opportunity to visit three Tombs. The three tombs visited are determined by the Egyptian Government to preserve them from the large flow of visitors; therefore, they are rotated throughout the year and cannot be confirmed prior to your visit.
