• Luxor - Your journey begins with a pickup from your hotel in Luxor or from Luxor airport by a Bastet Travel Egyptologist Guide, ready to take you on an authentic archaeological tour to the Valley of the Kings.

• Valley of the Kings - Today, delve into the secrets of Luxor’s West Bank. With your knowledgeable guide, explore the rich history and culture of ancient Egypt. The Valley of the Kings, a series of rock-cut tombs, served as the burial site for New Kingdom pharaohs and privileged nobles. It houses 63 tombs and chambers adorned with vibrant scenes depicting ancient Egyptian mythologies, beliefs, and funerary rituals.

• Tomb of King Tutankhamun (Tut) - Next, visit the tomb of King Tutankhamun, also known as KV62. This tomb, located in the Valley of the Kings, is the final resting place of the Eighteenth Dynasty pharaoh. It features four chambers and an entrance staircase and corridor. Although smaller and less elaborately decorated than other royal tombs, it was likely repurposed for Tutankhamun after his untimely death. Despite being robbed twice shortly after the burial, the mummy and most of the burial goods remained intact.

• Tomb of Seti I - Begin your visit to the Valley of the Kings with the tomb of King Seti I. Known as KV17, this tomb of the Nineteenth Dynasty pharaoh is also referred to as “Belzoni’s tomb”, “the Tomb of Apis”, and “the Tomb of Psammis, son of Nechois”. It is one of the most elaborately decorated and largest tombs in the valley.

• Tomb of Merenptah - Continue to the tomb of King Merenptah. In Egyptian mythology, Ptah is the demiurge of Memphis, god of craftsmen and architects. Tomb 8 in the Valley of the Kings served as the burial site for Pharaoh Merneptah, son of Ramesses II and Queen Isis-Nofret. Discovered by Howard Carter in 1903, this tomb features fewer lateral rooms but significantly taller corridors and rooms. It was constructed on a single axis, with a notably wider entrance compared to earlier tombs.

• Tomb of Ramses III - Visit the tomb of King Ramses III, designated as KV11. This complex tomb in the Valley of the Kings is renowned for its vibrant painted sunken reliefs depicting traditional ritual texts and scenes of Ramses before the gods. Unique secular scenes in the side rooms of the entrance corridor include detailed pottery from the Aegean, the royal armory, boats, and blind harpists, earning it the nickname “Tomb of the Harpers”.

• Tomb of Ramases IX - Explore the tomb of King Ramases IX, the third pharaoh of the Twentieth Dynasty. Known as Amonhirkhopshef before his coronation, he was the fifth son of Ramesses III and became crown prince after the death of his four elder brothers. The tomb is richly decorated, with vibrant colors and intricate details, including a ceiling adorned with the goddess Nut. Despite some deterioration, it remains one of the most elaborately decorated tombs in the valley.

• Tomb of Ramses VI - Conclude your tour with a visit to the tomb of King Ramses VI. Originally constructed by Pharaoh Ramesses V, who was buried here, the tomb was later repurposed by his uncle, Ramesses VI. The architectural layout is typical of the 20th Dynasty’s Ramesside period, simpler than that of Ramses III’s tomb.
