If you like your history and to go off yhe beaten track then this is for you. The tombs were amazing to see built high on the cliffs over looking the nile. The catacombs in the middle of the desert were totally unexpected.
Be prepared, it is a long drive there and back and because of the need for police convoys there can be delays and some waiting (the driver coped brilliantly with it all and kept it as smooth as possible!). Our guide, Walid, kept us informed all the way though and was a fountain of knowledge.
Definitely worth it if you want to see something most others won't.
