The entrance fee for the Tomb of Nefertari is 2,000 to 2,500 Egyptian pounds (EGP) per person, which is separate from the general Valley of the Queens entrance fee[1][5][7]. The standard entry ticket to the Valley of the Queens (VoQ) is 180–220 EGP, but access to Nefertari’s tomb (QV66) requires the additional, much higher fee. This makes Nefertari’s tomb the most expensive individual tomb ticket in Egypt, and visits are generally limited to 10 minutes inside due to the site’s conservation needs[1][7]. In practice, enforcement of this time limit can sometimes be relaxed with a tip to staff, but expect the 10-minute restriction to be official policy.
The main details for visiting are:
- General Valley of the Queens entrance: 180–220 EGP per person[1][3]
- Tomb of Nefertari QV66: 2,000 to 2,500 EGP per person, for a single visit[1][5][7]
- Visit duration: 10 minutes permitted inside the tomb; longer stays may be possible for an additional tip, but this is unofficial and not guaranteed[1][7]
- Photography: Generally permitted inside Nefertari’s tomb without an additional photography ticket[7]
Prices have fluctuated in recent years (previously 1,400 EGP, now 2,000–2,500 EGP) and could change with future government updates[2][3][5]. Currency fluctuations may affect the USD equivalent significantly. Access is sometimes included in the Premium Luxor Pass, though this option is mainly relevant for travelers planning to visit numerous archaeological sites[2].
