    The Valley of the Kings 1

    27 November 2022, Mesir ⋅ ⛅ 13 °C

    The Valley of the Kings is removed from other parts of the Theban Necropolis; the site was selected by Pharaohs because of the pyramid shaped mountain peak of Mount Al-Qurn. There is a total of 63 Royal Tombs here, and relatively few are open to the public. Our guide selects her favourite three to cover the three that we can visit with our ticket:

    The Tomb of Ramesses IV is noted for its colourful reliefs.

    The Tomb of Ramesses III is the grandest of the Ramessid tombs and has 10 side chambers.

    The Tomb of Tausert/Setnakt is noted for having two burial chambers; the first is for Seti's wife, Tausert, and this was usurped by a disgruntled Setnakt.    Baca lagi
