The published rate structure
The official portal checked on 4 November 2026 lists four general admission categories. Rates are shown in Egyptian pounds and can change; the portal for your date is the authority.
- Foreign adult EGP 550 and foreign student EGP 275.
- Egyptian adult EGP 40 and Egyptian student EGP 20.
- Student eligibility depends on a valid student ID and an age limit of 24.
- These are monument admission categories, not a combined tour price.
Optional and separate items
The ministry lists the temple panorama as a separate tariff: foreign adult/student EGP 200/100 and Egyptian adult/student EGP 40/20. Other parts of the day are not part of the entrance fee.
- Boat crossings: no current fare is verified here; ask what a quote includes.
- Evening Sound and Light show: separate booking, ticket and boat arrangements.
- Guides, personal expenses and any extras: confirm before paying.
- Ask for the total in writing when a provider offers a package.
Building a realistic budget
Add the admission category for each visitor, then the separately agreed boat cost, then any optional item. Because this guide does not publish a verified boat fare or show price, treat any total that includes them as a provider quote to be confirmed on the day.
Independent guide
This is an independent, unofficial guide and does not sell tickets. Official pages were checked on 4 November 2026; prices, last entry, boat operation and show schedules can change. Confirm them with the official portal and your boat provider on the day of your visit.
