## Corrections to claims found elsewhere

- A tour 'from $11' is not the full price: the entry tickets (EGP 440 + EGP 750 per foreign adult for Hatshepsut and the Valley of the Kings) are often an extra option.
- 'Admission included' on a Valley of the Kings tour means the standard 3-tomb ticket, not Tutankhamun, Seti I or Ramesses VI.
- The temple is on the West Bank of Luxor, not in Luxor city or Karnak; every tour here includes the transfer.
- A day trip from Hurghada spends about 8 hours on the road and about 3 hours at the sites.
