Marc, I was about to tell you that it could NOT BE THE NEFERTARI'S TOMB - but I was wrong. This has been closed to the public for YEARS and only at a rate of about $10,000 per person IF you were a VIP could you see it for 10 minutes.

On Nile 2 we were able to get in and I was absolutely thrilled having wanted to go in that tomb forever. They opened it up for groups and we paid a hefty sum to go inside. It is amazing - really incredible.

I just looked on line and found an article from June, 2016.

"The tombs in Luxor will re-open in a month's time, and tickets will cost EGP 1,000 (approx. $113).The number of visitors is to be limited to around 100 to 150 people a day"

They really need tourists I cannot believe they have taken this step.

Set the alarm and book that tour no matter what it costs. I think you will be glad you did. Makes me want to go on that cruise to go in that the tomb again.

I read the two tours, Ancient Luxor and Exclusive Luxor.

The Exclusive tour does Nefertaris tomb and Karnak.

The Ancient Luxor does Luxor and Queen Hatshepsut temples.

Both Karnak and Luxor are great so I do not think it matters which one you do.

Queen Hatshepsut is quite different and not a big temple Karnak and Luxor. Although that is on the other tour and not the Nefertari's tomb tour, my guess is you will drive by and see it from a distance anyway, and It looks better from a distance. This temple it is on the road from the Valley of the Kings and Queens on the way back to Luxor.

Once you walk up to the temple it is not as remarkable as the other temples. Not missing that much here.

I am excited that you will see Neferatari's tomb it is exquisite.
