Practical tips

Make the Most of Your 2 Days

Start early — it pays off

We depart at 07:00. The tombs are far more comfortable in the morning and the Valley of the Kings is much quieter. By afternoon temperatures can reach 40°C with hundreds of visitors.

Hydration is essential

Bring at least 2 litres of extra water. Desert heat is dry but intense. We provide water in the vehicle, but extra is always wise — especially on Day 2 on the West Bank.

Photography & video

Outdoor photos: always free. Inside most tombs: small photo ticket (€1–2) at the entrance. Never use flash — it damages 4,000-year-old pigments on the wall paintings.

Money & payment

Bring Egyptian pounds (EGP) for small purchases and tips. ATMs are available on Luxor's Corniche. The tour price is paid in euros or EGP, cash, on the day of departure.

Which extra tomb to choose?

Hesitating? Choose Seti I (€40) — the most beautiful, best-preserved wall paintings in all of Egypt. Or Tutankhamun (€20) for the historical emotion. Your guide advises based on crowds that day.

What to wear

Light, comfortable clothing suitable for walking. Shoulders and knees must be covered when entering temples. Bring a hat, sunglasses and sunscreen — the Egyptian sun is intense year-round.
