Valley of the Kings Luxor, Egypt Save $$ and go without a guide

We loved the Valley of the kings!
Our travel style is to wander and enjoy on our own timeline. We don't mind having to research a bit instead of having someone show us around. Saving money by being our own tour guides allows for more travel adventures!  Does that sound like you? Great! This video will show you all you need to know to have a great trip.

Drinks and snacks are available inside, but you can bring your own and water on the street cost about 9 cents vs 2 dollars inside the complex.
WC personal will require a "tip" to use the facilities

Wear closed toed shoes as you will be walking in dirt and rock on very uneven ground and down steep stairways into the tombs.
