Valley of the Kings

The Valley of the Kings is a magnificent burial ground where, to date, 63 tombs have been unearthed. The rooms range from a simple room to corridors with 120 chambers and pharaohs like Ramses II, Tutankhamen and Seti I found their resting place here. The valley has been a focus of several archaeological explorations; in 1979, the valley became a UNESCO World Heritage Site.

The Valley of the Kings in Luxor is one of Egypt’s most famous archaeological sites, serving as the royal burial ground of New Kingdom pharaohs, including Tutankhamun.

Carved into the desert hills on the west bank of the Nile, its richly decorated tombs feature vivid hieroglyphics and ancient funerary art, making it a must-visit highlight in any Luxor excursion.
