Here, you’ll explore four royal tombs, including those of Ramses, Horemheb, Merenptah, and, of course, King Tut. The tomb of Tutankhamun is the only one in the Valley of the Kings that was discovered nearly intact in 1922 by Howard Carter.

After visiting the tombs, you’ll be transported to the Temple of Queen Hatshepsut (Deir el Bahari), the only woman to have reigned over Egypt as Pharaoh. This queen was an ancestor of King Tutankhamun and belonged to the same dynasty.

- Tomb of Ramses III - The tomb of Ramesses III, designated as KV 11, is a complex system in the Valley of the Kings. Known since antiquity, its stunning decorations include colorful painted sunken reliefs featuring traditional ritual texts (Litany of Ra, Book of Gates, etc.) and depictions of Ramses before the gods. Unique to this tomb are the secular scenes in the small side rooms of the entrance corridor, showcasing foreign tributes like highly detailed pottery from the Aegean, the royal armory, boats, and, in the last of these side chambers, the blind harpists that earned the tomb one of its alternative names: ‘Tomb of the Harpers.’
- Tomb of Ramases IX - The tomb of King Ramesses IX, the third pharaoh of the Twentieth Dynasty of the New Kingdom of Ancient Egypt, is rich in color and detail, even on the ceiling above the sarcophagus, which features the goddess Nut stretching across the space. The sarcophagus is one of the largest in the valley, and despite some deterioration in the paintings, it remains one of the most decorated.
- Temple of Hatshepsut at Deir el Bahari - After visiting the tombs, you’ll be transported to the Temple of Queen Hatshepsut (Deir el Bahari), the only woman to have reigned over Egypt as Pharaoh. This queen was an ancestor of King Tutankhamun and belonged to the same dynasty.
- Tomb of Merenptah - In Egyptian mythology, Ptah is the demiurge of Memphis, god of craftsmen and architects. Tomb 8 in the Valley of the Kings was the burial place of Pharaoh Merneptah, a son of Ramesses II and Queen Isis-Nofret. Discovered by Howard Carter in 1903, the tomb features a reduction in the number of lateral rooms and a significant increase in the height of the corridors and rooms. Merneptah did away with the jogged axis used since the time of Horemheb, building the entire tomb on a single axis and making the entrance considerably wider than earlier tombs.
