Exclusive Egypt Tomb Tours

Inside Egypt offers the best tours of the tombs of ancient Egypt bringing you to several different types of ancient Egypt tombs (pyramid, mastaba, rock tomb, catacombs), from different periods of ancient Egypt.

The famous pyramid-shaped ancient Egypt tombs are found mainly in the north of Egypt at Giza, Saqqara and Dahshur. They can be visited with Inside Egypt on our Egypt tomb tours. Mastaba-shaped Egypt tombs and the oldest pyramids in Egypt can be seen in the necropolis of Saqqara. This served as a cemetery for the capital of Egypt from Dynasty I (c. 3200 BCE) until the first centuries after Christ, known as Memphis. You can also visit the famous rock tombs of the Egyptian pharaohs from the 18th to 20th Dynasty in the Valley of the Kings, in the city of Luxor during our Egypt tomb tours. 

The ancient Egyptian tombs of the wives of the pharaohs, and some princes from the late 18th - 20th dynasties can be seen in the Valley of the Queens near Luxor during one of our optional Egypt tomb tours.

When visiting Alexandria, you will see the Kom El-Shoqaf catacombs from the 2nd-3rd century, which served as the largest burial place in the Greco-Roman period. The uniqueness of the catacombs is related to both their layout and the visible combination of Egyptian, Greek and Roman traditions.

During the last day of our Around Egypt in 14 days and Exploring Egypt guided tours there is an add-on trip to Beni Hassan and Tuna el-Gebel tour. Here you can visit the rock tombs in Beni Hassan, from the Middle Kingdom period, when dignitaries of the 11th and 12th dynasties ruled. The tombs have a rich painted decor, depicting scenes from everyday life. Tuna el-Gebel, on the other hand, is the largest known Greco-Roman necropolis in Egypt. Dating from the New Kingdom to the Roman period; they were intensively used during the Ptolemaic time. You can see elaborate ancient Egypt burial tombs and animal cemeteries with mummies of baboons and ibises representing Thoth as well as all kinds of bird mummies here.

On our Egypt tomb tours you will visit the famous tombs in Egypt that are located in different parts of the land of the Pharaohs. Some of them have beautifully crafted Egypt burial chambers, or ancient Egyptian mummies, while others will have amazing stories to tell. Our best Egypt tomb tour will let you in on all the secrets of the ancient Egypt tombs, and the ancient Egyptian mummies that were found in the tombs!

The art, architecture, Egyptian death rituals and the funeral writings of the pharaonic state still amaze and fascinate researchers, today. This culture was "permeated" with the cult of death and life after death. For this life, they built ancient Egyptian tombs the size of huge buildings, which were completely equipped - like a living man's dwelling. Visit many of the ancient Egypt tombs with us on our amazing Egypt tomb tours.

A total of 138 pyramids were built throughout Egypt. A pyramid is a structure in the shape of a correct pyramid with a quadrangular base that most often served as a tomb. The most famous Egyptian pyramids are: the pyramids from the times of the Old Kingdom - the pyramid of Menkaure, the pyramid of Khafre and the Great Pyramid (Khufu) - in Giza. You can visit these, and see them up close during our ancient Egyptian tomb pyramid tour. These pyramids consist of a maze of corridors, and the burial chamber, known as the "rebirth chamber", was placed inside the pyramid, or carved into the ground beneath it. The walls of the corridors and chambers are devoid of any inscriptions or decorations. At present, only empty sarcophagi can be found in the burial chamber.

The Egyptian burial chambers in the older pyramids, such as the last ruler of the 5th Dynasty, and the rulers of the 6th Dynasty are fundamentally different from their predecessors. The Pyramids of Unis, Pepi I, Teti, and Pepi II in Saqqara, which you can see on our Egypt tomb tours are called "Talking Pyramids" because of the texts on the walls of the vestibules, and the tomb chambers themselves are called the Pyramids Texts.

Besides the pyramids in Giza, the most famous are ancient Egypt burial tombs in the Valley of the Kings, in Luxor, which you can visit with us on our Egypt tomb tours. The tombs of the pharaohs from the New Kingdom are carved in solid rock. They consist of stairs and a long, multimeter corridor, from which there are entrances to other rooms: a burial chamber, a vestibule, a side chamber, and a treasury. In the Egyptian burial chambers, there were usually golden metal boxes and a sarcophagus. Inside the sarcophagus, there are golden metal coffins in the shape of a pharaoh's body. A golden mask decorated with precious stones was placed on the face of the Egyptian mummy, which was in the final coffin.

The full assortment of items that the rulers needed during their lifetime is brought to their tombs. This included food, furniture, tableware, cosmetics, toiletries, clothes, mirrors, games, amulets and written advice for the soul - about what it should do to be brought to the face of Osiris, and ultimately to paradise. However, all of these items and the ancient Egyptian mummies cannot be found in ancient tombs in Egypt, as the burial tombs in ancient Egypt were robbed in antiquity.

The exception to this is Tutankhamun's tomb and the items that modern archeologists found there are on display in Egyptian museums. You can see these items in the museums of Egypt on our luxury Egypt tours. This means that the inside of the ancient Egyptian tombs are empty, or you will find only sarcophagi or a mummy, as in the tomb of Pharaoh Tutankhamun. However, the walls and ceilings of many of the tombs, and in particular the burial chamber, are covered with reliefs, magnificent paintings, and texts from the Royal Tomb Books. It's worth visiting them to see for yourself the amazing and colorful paintings. Join us on our Egypt tomb tours to see the details of the ancient Egypt burial tombs with your own eyes!

When you are visiting Egyptian monuments, including ancient Egypt tombs, with Inside Egypt, this always includes a licensed Egyptian guide. Our private guides on our Egypt tomb tours are the best of the best. They are knowledgeable and passionate about their country, and its history. Our guides provide very detailed information on Egyptian death rituals, ancient Egyptian mummies, and the history, architecture, design and decoration of ancient Egypt tombs during our tours. They know all about every important Egyptian crypt, found in the land of the pharaohs, and they love to share their knowledge about them with you.

Unfortunately, not all ancient Egypt burial tombs can be entered by our clients with an Egypt guide. This includes the Egypt burial chambers in the Valley of the Kings and the Valley of the Queens, as well as the pyramids of Giza, Saqqara and Dahshur. The reason for this is the large number of visitors to these famous tombs in Egypt. It is dangerous to crowd the narrow corridors of these archaeological sites, so the guides provide information outside the ancient Egypt tombs and are available for questions at a pre-agreed location.

When visiting the tombs in the Valley of the Kings, our guides will always recommend which three tombs of the eight available, are worth entering. They take into account not only their artistic values but also the length and depth of the tomb. Visiting some ancient Egypt tombs can be quite tiring and require more effort than others, making them unsuitable for some people to visit.

You can be sure that our Egyptian guides are professionals at what they do, and our clients consistently praise them after completing one of our Egypt historical tours. With our knowledgeable Egypt guides you can guarantee that all Egypt tomb tours will be unforgettable!

The pyramids are the hallmark of Egypt, and are the images that you conjure up when thinking about Egypt. These are huge buildings erected during the Old and Middle Kingdoms, starting from the XXVII century BC, which attract the attention of scientists and tourists. You can visit these magnificent structures as part of our Egypt tomb tours. The pyramids, in addition to the mastaba, rock tombs and catacombs, are types of ancient Egypt tombs that can still be seen in the north of Egypt. 

The most popular pyramid-shaped ancient Egypt tombs are found in Giza, Saqqara and Dahshur. You can visit these famous Egyptian tombs with us during our ancient Egyptian tomb pyramid tour. The pyramids, as dwellings to serve the deceased pharaohs in eternity, had to be durable and representative. The Great Pyramid (Khufu) in Giza is currently 137 meters high (originally, it was 9 meters higher). Each side of its base is 230 meters long. Timelessness is one of the most important features that we associate with the Egyptian pyramids. The mummified bodies of deceased rulers were hidden in the pyramids of the Egyptian crypt and secured against robbers by numerous traps and corridors with no exits. No one had the right to interfere with the Pharaoh's posthumous life.
