Strongly recommend googling which tombs to see before going here. Your standard ticket for ~200LE will only grant you access to 3 tombs, but there must be about 50.

This place is so rich and magnificent, I wish everyone could come see the history that lies beneath the dirt. Such a magical location. I thank God every day for letting come experience this in person.

Incredible tombs, came here a few years ago and was unable to take photos so was very pleasantly surprised that you can now. Watch out for 'tomb attendants' trying to pose for photos or take your camera and get photos of you in restricted areas, they're hoping for tips but just be respectful of the history and kindly decline the offer to go where you're clearly not supposed to go.

The great Burial place of the many Pharaohs but obviously King Tut is the most famous of them all.
Imagine finding one of those Sarcophagi in the sand while the face of the tomb is creepy for sure I'm sure for anyone it would be a wonderful experience.
RIP Howard Carter the person who found King Tut's Burial and Sarcophagi.response / report this review -

While the Valley of the Kings hosts a multitude of glamorous tombs, also known as palaces of eternity, it is the boy king that you often remember here. In the words of the British archaeologist Howard Carter, who opened the tomb of Tut in 1922:
“At first I could see nothing, the hot air escaping from the chamber causing the candle flame to flicker, but presently, as my eyes grew accustomed to the light, details of the room within emerged slowly from the mist, strange animals, statues, and gold - everywhere the glint of gold.”
Now multiply this gold by Ramses and Sety, then you realize that this was a man made valley of gold.response / report this review
