Tomb of Ramses III

The tomb of Ramesses III, designated as KV 11, is a complex system in the Valley of the Kings. It has been known since antiquity,the wonderful decorations include colourful painted sunken reliefs featuring the traditional ritual texts (Litany of Ra, Book of Gates etc) and Ramses before the gods. Unusual here are the secular scenes, in the small side rooms of the entrance corridor, showing foreign tributes, such as highly detailed pottery imported from the Aegean, the royal armoury, boats and, in the last of these side chambers, the blind harpists that gave the tomb one of its alternative names: ‘Tomb of the Harpers’

Tomb of Ramses IV

The tomb of Ramses IV (KV 2) in the Valley of the Kings is rather different than most other tombs built here. This tomb is by far the most spectacular of the other tombs you will see. The hieroglyphics on the wall depict scenes from the Litany of Ra, Book of the Dead, Book of Caverns, the Book of the Heavens, Book of Amduat, and the Book of the Night. The blue and white colors on the walls inside the burial chamber are very vibrant and you can see the king's sarcophagus made of rose-colored granite. There is also a beautiful scene of goddess Nut on the ceiling, where she is depicted swallowing the sun, and it traveling through her stomach, for Nut to give birth to it.

The tomb has so much colour and detail even the ceiling above the sarcophagi with its goddess Nut stretching across the space. The sarcophagus is one of the largest in the valley, even though some of the paintings have deteriorated this is one of the most decorated.

A fantastic day out with Ahmed,a very proffesional, friendly and knowledgable guide.Mohammed was our driver and helped to make the whole trip relaxing and comfortable. We really enjoyed the valley of the Kings. The highlight of the day was the tomb of Seti 1st. Amazing and well worth a visit.

We experienced a top-notch tour from Mansour Hussein! With Mansour, we visited the Valley of the Kings and Valley of the Queens. This included a visit to King Tut's Tomb and Hapshepsut's Temple.

First, we chose Luxor Tours because of their excellent TripAdvisor rating. Our communication with Ragab was thorough and efficient, which gave us confidence as we made reservations 1,000 miles away.

We were particularly interested in having an Egyptologist all to ourselves, but we truly lucked out by getting Mansour as our guide. His knowledge of ancient Egyptian history, architecture, and art made every second of our tour a joy..

Additionally, Mansour answered our many questions about modern-day Egyptian culture.

Please read more about our experience with Mansour in our post about our Luxor and Karnak Temple tours.
