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.

Highlights of Luxor

Mark N, 22-09-2022

Fantastic tour with Mahmoud Haggag as our guide with Khaled as our friendly driver. Great sites with very knowledgeable guide and done at good pace. We booked the day before arriving in Luxor and picked up at hotel on time no worries.The tour took us to all the good spots. Mahmoud expressed us through the ticket points which made it easy to get to each site. Also arranged a typical local lunch with nice view over the Nile and loved the food. Helpful tips; make sure you have the cash to cover entrances, sunscreen and hat as it gets really hot in the sun and be well rested as it’s a long day. The tour company can also help with other tours and flexible with your needs. Great value for money and highly recommend.

Incredible Full-Day Luxor Experience

We had a fantastic day with Khalid and our driver Ramadan! You can feel Khalid’s passion for Egyptology and all things Luxor. The included lunch was excellent with a beautiful view of the Nile from the West Bank. If you are on the fence, I highly recommend booking this tour!
