Are there archaeological sites still under excavation that can be visited?

Yes, several archaeological sites in Egypt are still under excavation and can be visited with a guide. Notable examples include:

  • Saqqara (new tomb discoveries and ongoing digs near the Step Pyramid)
  • Valley of the Kings (active excavation and restoration projects, with new tomb findings)
  • Luxor’s West Bank (work at temples, worker’s villages, and tombs)
  • Abydos and sites in Middle Egypt (periodic ongoing excavations open to visitors)

Visits are typically along public access routes with explanations provided by guides. Sometimes, you can observe archaeologists at work from a safe distance. Our A-class travel agency can recommend up-to-date sites and arrange guided tours to ongoing excavations for a unique travel experience.
