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’ 10 minutes

Tomb of Ramses IV, 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. 10 minutes

The natural beauty we encountered on this trip was simply stunning. From the drive along the West Bank of Luxor to the surrounding desert hills, the scenery was nothing short of magnificent. The contrasts of the lush Nile valley and the arid desert made for a unique experience. Whether we were gazing at the mountains where the tombs of the pharaohs were hidden or admiring the vast open spaces, the landscapes added an incredible backdrop to our journey. The views were a reminder of Egypt's timeless beauty and history.

The valley of the kings is not to be missed! I preferred this over the pyramids tour. There is so much to see inside the hidden tombs of old Egyptian kings, including the mummy of Tutankhamun. Our guide, Rajab was the BEST! He provided interesting facts, pointed out hidden secrets and had a great sense on humour. I highly recommend requesting Rajab for your tour!
