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.

AswanAbu Simbel Temples – Ramses II & Nefertari (Aswan)
Abu Simbel comprises two rock-cut temples built by Ramses II and Queen Nefertari, relocated in 1964–1968 to avoid flooding from the Aswan High Dam. We are a licensed Egyptian tour operator and arrange private road transfers (280 km, about 3 hours 30 minutes) or short domestic flights, private guiding, and overnight stays in Abu Simbel village. The Great Temple faces east and aligns with the sun on February 22 and October 22. Distinctive view: unlike coach-shuffle day trips, we favour private transfers or flights and recommend the overnight option so clients can see the sunrise illumination with fewer crowds. Trade-offs: the site has limited shade, intense midday heat, and requires an early start or a long road transfer.

AswanAbu Simbel Temples – Sun Festival (22 Feb / 22 Oct)
Attend the Abu Simbel Sun Festival on 22 February or 22 October and watch sunlight enter the inner sanctuary. The temples are part of the UNESCO-listed Nubian Monuments and were relocated between 1964 and 1968 during the Aswan High Dam project. Sunlight illuminates the statues of Amun-Re, Ra-Horakhty, and Ramses II; Ptah remains in shadow. Abu Simbel is about 280 km south of Aswan (≈3.5–4 hours by road) or a short scheduled domestic flight (≈40 minutes), so the festival requires dedicated logistics. We do not bundle the festival with other same-day sightseeing; it needs permits and a fixed arrival window. Expect a pre-dawn pickup, security checks, and limited shade at the site. We are a licensed Egyptian tour operator and arrange permits, transfers, and on-site briefings.

CairoAl-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.
