Many visitors arrive at the Valley of the Kings hoping to explore as many royal tombs as possible. However, the entrance system has a few important rules that are worth understanding before your visit.

A standard entrance ticket normally includes access to three regular tombs that are open on the day of your visit. Since some tombs are periodically closed for conservation and restoration work, the selection of available tombs changes throughout the year.

The good news is that you can visit more than three tombs if you purchase separate tickets for selected premium tombs. These optional tickets are available through the official ticketing system before entering the archaeological site, subject to availability.

The most popular premium tombs include the Tomb of Tutankhamun (KV62), the Tomb of Seti I (KV17), and the Tomb of Ramses V and Ramses VI (KV9). Each of these tombs requires its own separate entrance ticket and is not included with the standard Valley of the Kings admission.

Many visitors choose a combination that offers the best overall experience. They visit three standard tombs included with the main ticket and then add one premium tomb based on their interests. Tutankhamun's Tomb is ideal for those interested in the world's most famous pharaoh, while the Tomb of Ramses V and Ramses VI is admired for its extraordinary ceiling and vivid wall paintings. The Tomb of Seti I is often considered one of the finest royal tombs ever discovered in Egypt.

If you want to spend more time exploring the Valley of the Kings, a Private Luxor Tour from Marsa Alam is often the best choice. A private tour gives you greater flexibility, allowing you to adjust your schedule and enjoy the archaeological site at a more relaxed pace.

Before purchasing any additional tickets, it is always a good idea to ask your Egyptologist guide which tombs are open on the day of your visit. They can recommend the best combination according to the current availability, your interests, and the time available for your tour.
