The Hatshepsut ticket

A fast-entry ticket for Hatshepsut's temple at Deir el-Bahari, sent as a PDF, with an English audio guide to download to your phone. It suits one case: you're already on the West Bank, you have no guide and you want the commentary in your ear.

Hatshepsut Temple Fast-Entry Ticket & Audio Guide

About this experience

This is a ticket, not a tour. You get entry to Hatshepsut's temple and a downloadable English audio guide. The Viator voucher is not the ticket: the real PDF ticket and the audio link come by email and WhatsApp, and the listing warns that the voucher will not be accepted at the gate. The ticket is valid from 6 am to 4 pm, and the temple itself is open 6 am to 5 pm (the Ministry's Deir el-Bahari page).

Now the numbers. The official gate price is EGP 440 for a foreign adult, about $8 at about EGP 52 to the dollar. This ticket costs $17. And it is non-refundable: "If you cancel or ask for an amendment, the amount you paid will not be refunded." There is one rating on Viator so far, 4.0 from a single review. The temple's ticket office is rarely busy enough to need fast entry, and guests report the West Bank ticket offices take cards.

Who should buy it? Very few people. If you want a guide, a half-day private tour with tickets costs little more and adds the Valley of the Kings. If you just want to see the temple, take a taxi and pay at the window. We list it so you can compare, not because we recommend it.

Who it suits

  • Your plans are fixed and won't change

Skip it if

  • Your plans might change: the ticket is non-refundable

What guests say

Tips before you book

  • Do the sums first: $17 versus EGP 440 (about $8) at the gate.
  • Never show the Viator voucher at the gate. Only the PDF ticket works.
  • Download the audio guide before you leave the hotel; mobile data on the West Bank can be patchy.
  • Go at 6 am. The terraces face east and have almost no shade by mid-morning.
  • If there's any doubt about your date, buy at the gate: this ticket can't be changed or refunded.

Frequently asked questions

How much is the Hatshepsut temple ticket at the gate?

EGP 440 for a foreign adult and EGP 220 for a foreign student, on the official Ministry page. That is about $8 for an adult in October 2026, against $17 for this online ticket.

Is the Hatshepsut skip-the-line ticket refundable?

No. The listing says it is non-refundable and cannot be changed for any reason. Buy it only if your date is certain.

Can I use the Viator voucher to get in?

No. The listing says the voucher is not the ticket. The real PDF ticket and the audio guide link arrive by email and WhatsApp.

Do I need a skip-the-line ticket for Hatshepsut's temple?

Rarely. The ticket office at Deir el-Bahari is seldom crowded, and guests report West Bank ticket offices take cards. Fast entry helps most at the Valley of the Kings, which this ticket doesn't cover.
