The Valley of the Golden Mummies: Egypt’s Forgotten Necropolis of Wealth and Mystery

Beneath the desert sands of Bahariya Oasis, far from the bustling crowds of Cairo and the temples of Luxor, lies a secret that even many locals don’t know exists: the Valley of the Golden Mummies.

This incredible site, discovered by chance in 1996, revealed more than 250 mummies, many of them adorned in gold masks, intricate jewelry, and lavish Roman-style robes. It’s a glimpse into the lives—and afterlives—of Egypt’s wealthy elite during the Greco-Roman period.

At Egypt Tours Club, we believe that travel should go beyond the expected. That’s why we’ve created VIP Access experiences to hidden locations like this one—experiences that are not included in typical itineraries. Whether you're seeking unique day tours, immersive package tours, or off-the-grid adventures through Egypt’s top cities, this destination is one of our most unforgettable offerings.

✨ Why the Valley of the Golden Mummies Is So Special

Unlike the Valley of the Kings or the Pyramids of Giza, the Valley of the Golden Mummies isn’t crowded with tourists or surrounded by souvenir stalls. It’s quiet. Mysterious. Raw. The kind of place that makes you feel like you’ve stepped into a story that’s still being written.

Here, you’ll see:

Gold-covered mummies lying in underground tombs

Roman-influenced burial practices alongside traditional Egyptian customs

Hieroglyphics, funerary portraits, and untouched artifacts

It’s a journey that blends Egypt’s ancient soul with a lesser-known chapter of its history—and with VIP Access through Egypt Tours Club, you’ll experience it in the most meaningful way.
