Which tombs can you see?
The standard ticket covers a set of royal tombs, usually three, chosen from those open on the day. Tutankhamun, Seti I and Ramesses VI need separate tickets.
What else is included?
The Temple of Hatshepsut at Deir el Bahari and a stop at the Colossi of Memnon on the way back.
My cruise already includes the West Bank. Do I need this?
Probably not. Most Nile cruises include a West Bank visit. This tour suits travellers staying in a Luxor hotel, or cruise passengers who want a private guide and more time in the tombs.
