Getting There & Around

How to Get to QV44

QV44 lies in Egypt’s New Valley Governorate (El Wadi El Gedid), a remote desert region. Access is typically via road from Kharga or Farafra; Kharga is the nearest larger hub with guesthouses and 4x4 rental options. Travel requires a 4x4 vehicle and often a local guide; distances are long and roads can be unpaved.

Tips for Visiting QV44

  • Visit at first light - desert archaeology sites become oppressively hot by late morning
  • Bring a satellite-capable communication device; the New Valley is remote
  • Hire a registered guide in the New Valley Governorate who knows local permissions and access routes
