Stop At: Tomb of Ramses III, Valley of the Kings West Bank, Luxor Egypt

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’

Stop At: Tomb of Ramses IV, Valle de Los Reyes, Luxor Egypt

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.

Khalid was an excellent tour guide and was very knowledgeable, giving us a very good insight into the history of the Valley of the Kings as well as Egyptian culture and history. Hassan, our driver was always ready and waiting when we were ready to leave.

+ The guide was on time, the car was clean and comfortable and the tour provided lots of interesting information about ancient Egypt and the Valley of the Kings. The guide also got us through the ticket line quickly and recommended the most interesting tombs to visit. We did not feel rushed in any way. - We could have done without the stop at the craft village as we had no interest in buying trinkets. The guide offered us options to see other sights not on the itinerary but I felt the prices quoted for the add-ons were a bit steep, so we decided against doing this sadly.
