But it was an fantastik experience with the incredible nile view! It sure is impotent to remember enough water! Calculate using 3-4 hours from te buttom up and down again. No Mountaneer skulle needed but near the peak you need to be ready to climb/squeeze you in between some rocks. At the top i saw another (to me Looking unaccesible for ordinary people) that seemed higher - anyone know If that is true?
@PomppuY - Thanks for the answer. I actually forgot to Wright here that I Went to the peak this christmas. I started walking from deir el medina (the workers' village). I met someone almost at the peak Who cameroun from the Valley of the Kings - that is possible too. Stairs almost All the way up (many). On the way up you pass 3 'police stations' - actually i had a cup of tea with the People in the last/highest police station - so they're friendly, although they are not good at english. But it w
I been up there as well. I also put a video on it and try to ake a video response here, but it doesn't work.
It was sooooo hard to get up there, oh my god, just to many stairs.
I stopped at the police station and didn't want to go further, but I made it all top the top and then I was really happy that I did it. It is soooo beautiful op there. When I was there, there was soooo hard wind that is was exctually cold!!! But it was really great to see and do this. :-)
@Afia87 I'm going to Luxor in the Christmas this year and I was wondering: Is it no problem to be allowed admittance to the peak or just walking around in the Valley of the Kings? And is it a dangerous route? (I'm no mountaineer)... I am ready to make an effort reaching the peak, though :p Hope you can help! Theis
@teamtheisb you can walk around in the Valley of the Kings, that is where al the tombs are. I went by bike to it; did go with the ferry to the other side of the Nile, rent there a bike and biked to the Valley. Specially the way to the Valley is hard because slidly it goes up. But on the way back, you don't have to bike, ;-). But I don't recomment it to do it alone, it's a dessert where you are biking trough...otherwise take a taxi!
@teamtheisb And to climb the mountain, no problem to climb it, but it is hard! I am also no mountaineer and not a sportive person at all. But I also don't recommend it to do it alone!
It are many many many stairs and it's hard, so ake enough water. But do not give up, because when you are at the top, the view is absolutely amazing and it is really worth it!!!
Good luck and have fun in Luxor, it is really a great city!
@Afia87 Thank you very much for your answers :-) I think I'll try, and then time will tell if I reach the peak :p So you climed it from the valley of the kings side? Heard it can be climed from the other side as well. Are their stairs all the way to the peak? And theres no danger from slipping and falling down? :p Theis
@teamtheisb Accessible from both sides, Nilke side has stairs almost to the top, but one has to use also hands in the final phase (5 meters or so). Normal physical condition is enough, no skills required. Take plenty of water. A hint: you can hide some bottles hidden on your way up so you do not have to carry rthem and you can drink them on your way down.
@teamtheisb Aceesible from both sides, King´s Valley side I have not tried, should be a bit easier but on the other hand no stairs (or at least not so high up). I recommend the Nile side if one has to choose.

Don't know who sent this very lovely video but thank you. The Egyptian Gvt normal dis-allows visits. Thank you to the kind Egyptians for allowing me a years visa to live with her people. I was a year visiting and wish to return. Sit outside the cities on a mountain and hear the call to prayer, dive the Red Sea, or walk a desert and IT IS SECURE, don't listen to the bullocks from paranoid websites! but Don't flaunt or be disrespectful. Be gracious and you will find a very giving people. Masr #1
*I saw another peak that seemed higher.

A very beautiful video and a hard route to the peak! Many, many stairs. I stopped at the last police station. But, forbearance is not acquittance!
