Getting There & Around

How to Get to TT100

TT tombs referenced to the Theban necropolis are on the West Bank of Luxor (ancient Thebes). The necropolis is reached by road or ferry from Luxor city; local guides and licensed operators usually include specific tombs in their itineraries.

Tips for Visiting TT100

  • If combining with other oases or routes in the Western Desert, ensure a licensed guide and 4x4 transport - facilities are extremely sparse.
  • Carry sufficient water and emergency supplies; mobile phone coverage is unreliable in the New Valley.
  • Respect archaeological protocols: many tombs and graves in the area are fragile and should not be touched or climbed.
