What to expect During this tour?

What exactly is this “Valley of the Kings”? It is the place where the pharaohs (and their families) were buried. Such an ancient cemetery with tombs carved into the rock. It is worth remembering that the Ancient Egyptians paid extraordinary attention to life after death. Their tombs are usually true works of art. Walking through the corridors filled with paintings and the halls that once housed the mummies of the pharaohs is incredibly impressive. Most of the tombs in the Valley of the Kings had been looted before archaeologists reached them. That’s why Howard Carter’s discovery of Tutankhamun’s Tomb in 1922 caused a huge stir. Despite the late discovery, this tomb was filled with treasures. There were gold beds, a throne, chests, and the famous golden mask of Tutankhamun weighing about 10 kilograms. Today, the mask is in the Egyptian Museum in Cairo and can be admired during a trip to Cairo.
