With or without a guide, visitors can stroll through the Valley of the Kings at their own pace. If you do hire a guide, they will provide you with information on each tomb just before you visit it because guides are not authorized inside the actual tombs.

The Valley of the Kings is a renowned archaeological site located on the west bank of the Nile River near Luxor, Egypt. It served as a burial ground for many pharaohs and powerful nobles of the New Kingdom period (approximately 1550-1070 BCE).

Located in Luxor, Egypt, on the western bank of the Nile River, lies the Valley of the Kings, an ancient royal burial site. Pharaohs and wealthy nobility from the New Kingdom era found their ultimate resting place there (about 1550–1070 BCE). There are many tombs in the valley, including the most well-known modern discovery—that of Tutankhamun. The magnificent and well-preserved tombs in the Valley of the Kings, which are embellished with fine artwork and hieroglyphic inscriptions, are well known.

With the discovery of the last burial chamber in 2006, known as Tomb 63, as well as the discovery of two other entrances to the same chamber in 2008, the number of tombs discovered so far has reached 63 tombs of varying sizes, ranging from a small hole in the ground to a complex tomb with more than 120 burial chambers inside.
