Full description

Hidden beneath the cliffs of the Theban hills, the Valley of the Kings was the burial site of Egypt’s most powerful rulers for over 500 years, filled with richly decorated tombs meant to guide them into the afterlife. On this tour, we’ll walk in the footsteps of legendary pharaohs like Tutankhamun, Hatshepsut, Seti I, and Ramesses III. We’ll uncover the stories behind the valley’s most important tombs – from dazzling masterpieces of art and architecture to mysterious royal secrets only recently revealed. Join us as we explore the highlights of the Valley of the Kings: a journey through ambition, devotion, betrayal, and immortality written in stone.

This is a scam you can download the app for free. It does not gain you entry to the site. The app also doesn’t pick up what sites you are visiting they are all jumbled up.

ARNAQUE, le site vend des "Billets d'entrée" où l'entrée n'est pas comprise. Il est ensuite indiqué que tout remboursement est impossible.
