Best time to go

The best time to visit is early in the morning, especially from October to April, when temperatures in Luxor are more moderate and the site is less crowded. Summer months can be very hot, and midday visits are more demanding. During Ramadan and major public holidays, opening hours and visitor flow may change, so checking the official site before you go is advisable.

Background

The facts

The Tomb of Ramses VI, catalogued as KV9, is one of the decorated royal tombs in the Valley of the Kings on Luxor’s West Bank. It belongs to Ramesses VI, a pharaoh of Egypt’s 20th Dynasty, and is known for painted and carved funerary scenes that cover the corridor walls and burial chamber.

The Valley of the Kings lies roughly 6 km from the Nile ferry area on Luxor’s West Bank and about 10 km from central Luxor, depending on the route used. Visitors enter through the Valley archaeological area, pass a security check at the entrance gate, and then continue on foot to the tomb access points.

This entry ticket grants admission only to Tomb of Ramses VI (KV9). It does not include a guided visit, transport, or any other monuments unless stated separately, and opening hours can vary seasonally, so checking official hours before arrival is recommended.

Because the tomb is a historic rock-cut burial site with limited interior space, visits are usually self-guided and time inside may be managed by site staff. Photography rules can vary by monument and ticket type, so visitors should confirm the current policy at the entrance before taking any pictures.

Abu Simbel Temples, AswanAswan

Abu Simbel Temples, Aswan

Abu Simbel lies about 280 km south of Aswan and is reached by a 40‑minute flight or a 3.5–4 hour road transfer. As a licensed Egyptian tour operator, we arrange private early flights and timed private‑car arrivals so clients avoid coach crowds and the hottest hours. The twin sites are the Great Temple of Ramesses II and the Small Temple of Nefertari, moved to higher ground between 1964 and 1968 during an international relocation campaign and included in the Nubian Monuments UNESCO listing. Trade‑offs: a same‑day return requires an early start and either a long road journey or a small‑plane seat; shade is limited on the forecourt.

Abu Simbel Temples – Sun Festival (22 Feb / 22 Oct)

See the twice-yearly solar alignment at Abu Simbel on 22 February or 22 October when sunlight reaches the inner sanctuary. The twin rock temples were carved for Ramses II and honour Amun‑Re and Ra. They were moved in 1964–1968 and form part of the UNESCO World Heritage 'Nubian Monuments from Abu Simbel to Philae'. Abu Simbel is approximately 280 km south of Aswan (about 3.5 hours by road). We are a licensed Egyptian tour operator and can arrange timed-entry tickets, private road transfers and an Egyptologist briefing when available. Unlike same-day coach runs, we recommend an overnight in Aswan to avoid very early road departures and rushed visits; expect limited shade at the forecourt and large crowds on festival dates.

Al-Moez Street Entry TicketCairo

Al-Moez Street Entry Ticket

Al-Moez Street is a medieval Cairo thoroughfare lined with Fatimid and Mamluk-era monuments, gates and historic façades. This admission grants access to the pedestrianised street and its visible monuments, including views toward Bab Zuweila and the Mosque of Al-Hakim. As a licensed Egyptian tour operator, we arrange the ticket and send it to you by email as a PDF after booking. Unlike a museum admission, the street is an open historic quarter rather than a single indoor site, so visiting times are flexible but subject to seasonal opening hours and special events.
