What makes Tombs of the Pharaohs in Luxor a unique experience ?
In the morning, an air-conditioned vehicle will pick you up from your central Luxor hotel or harbor for a fully guided tour lasting about 4 hours. First, you will be taken to the Necropolis of Thebes, the Valley of the Kings on the West Bank of Luxor. This ancient burial site is a must-visit for travelers to Luxor. During the tour, you will visit four royal tombs, including the Tomb of Ramses, the Tomb of Horemheb, and the Tomb of Merenptah.
The tomb of Ramesses III, known as KV 11, is a complex located in the Valley of the Kings. The tomb has been known since ancient times and boasts wonderful decorations, including colorful painted sunken reliefs featuring traditional ritual texts such as the Litany of Ra and Book of Gates, as well as depictions of Ramses before the gods. Unique to this tomb is the secular scenes found in the small side rooms of the entrance corridor, showcasing foreign tributes such as highly detailed pottery imported from the Aegean, the royal armory, boats, and even blind harpists in the last of these side chambers, which gave the tomb one of its alternative names: the ‘Tomb of the Harpers’.
You have the option to pay an entrance fee of 700EGP to visit the tomb of Tutankhamun, the renowned young king from the New Kingdom who ascended the throne at the age of 10 and passed away at only 19 years old. During your visit to the Valley of the Kings, you will have the unique opportunity to come face to face with his royal mummy.
