The Valley of Kings Tours and Vacation Packages

Overview

Take a trip to the Valley of the Kings on your Egypt Vacation

The Valley of the Kings is famous as the burial site of almost all the pharaohs of the 18th, 19th, and 20th dynasties. The Ancient Egyptians chose the West Bank of the Nile River as the burial site with the belief that the setting of the sun in the west represented the death of the sun god Ra. 

The burial ground has 65 tombs, 63 of which belong to members of the royal family. The tomb of Ramesses V and VI has hallways, a massive burial chamber, and a vaulted astronomical ceiling featuring Goddess Nut swallowing Ra. The Tomb of Seti I is one of the deepest and most colourful tombs in the Valley of the Kings. King Tutankhamun's tomb is the smallest of the tombs but contains the largest collection of artifacts of any tomb in the valley, many of which are displayed in the Egyptian Museum. On a main (entry) ticket, you can choose three tombs from a list of open tombs. If visiting in summer, pack plenty of water and sunscreen as temperatures can cross 90°F.

My destination specialist, Katie Stephenson was amazing from the onset. Her customer service, communication style and planning skills was so timely and top notch. Our trip was to Fiji, New Zealand and Australia, from Aug 4-22, 2026. The way she planned and booked the trip makes the experience convenient and enjoyable. The flexibility of payment makes the decision faster and attractive. Everything we need to know including contacts were readily available within our travel documents itinerary. Overall, I'll say it's money well spent and a lifetime experience particularly for my kids.Festus

We went on a highly customized comprehensive (though quick tour) of England and a bit of Scotland through Goway. Ingrid Aird did an amazing job of planning and arranging every detail with her deep experience, insight, thoughtfulness and creativity, tuning into the needs of each traveler; and she did so even though our decision to travel was rather spontaneous and last minute! Our family had the best time! We look forward to working with Ingrid and Goway again!Vilja Breiling

I can't tell you enough how much I love to work with Callie. She is a life saver and I love how attentive she is. Every time I give her an itinerary for a client- she really knocks it out of the park with the proposal. If there are any issues- she is on it right away. Her work ethic is outstanding.Michelle Labarca

I had the pleasure of working with Amelia on a booking for a family of 4 to Tokyo, Kyoto and Osaka. She executed everything perfectly, was attentive to needs and the family was over the top happy with their vacation. She was quick to answer questions and provide helpful feedback. Highly recommended!Jessie Williams

We were trying to navigate Swiss Travel Center to book a 10 day train trip through Switzerland. It was exactly what we wanted but navigating their site was extremely difficult for us. Goway Travel picked up on our plight and put us in contact with Jacqueline Fagooli, one of their agents. From there on everything was so smooth. Their efficiency, communication, and thoroughness were beyond our expectations. The trip was fabulous and kudos to Jacqueline and Goway for their help in making it so.Carolyn McCormack
