About the Tour
The Valley of the Kings is an ancient necropolis and archaeological site in Egypt. It served as the primary burial ground for pharaohs and powerful nobles of the New Kingdom.
What you will hear
Tomb of Ramesses VII (KV1)
The first tomb encountered upon entering the valley, this site was open since antiquity and served as a dwelling for Coptic monks.
KV1
Welcome to the Valley of the Kings, a remote canyon where New Kingdom pharaohs were buried in hidden rock-cut tombs beneath a natural limestone pyramid.
Tomb of Ramesses VII
This tomb, the first one encountered when entering the valley, offers a unique look at a pharaoh whose reign was cut tragically short.
Tomb of Ramesses IV (KV2)
Known for its exceptionally wide corridors and vibrant 'Book of Nut' ceiling, this tomb contains one of the largest sarcophagi in the valley.
KV2
The entrance of KV2 introduces a significant architectural shift that defined the tombs of the 20th Dynasty, favoring direct paths over hidden bends.
Corridors of Eternity
These corridors were sacred ritual spaces where the pharaoh underwent a spiritual metamorphosis, surrounded by high-quality low reliefs and expensive pigments.
The Birth of the Sun
The figure of the goddess Nut stretching across the ceiling illustrates the eternal cycle of life, death, and daily solar rebirth.
