Overview

Valley of the Kings
The famed Valley of the Kings, hidden between rocky escarpments, was the final resting place for the kings of the 18th, 19th, and 20th dynasties. Their main attraction is their wonderfully vivid wall paintings. Since it was believed that the dead man, accompanied by the sun god (or perhaps having become one with the sun god) sailed through the underworld at night in a boat, the walls of the tombs were adorned with texts and scenes depicting this voyage and giving the dead man instruction on its course

The bright, colourful rooms at Jolie Ville Golf & Resort have tiled flooring and Egyptian-style rugs. They include a private balcony and satellite TV. Some rooms have panoramic views of the Red Sea.

King Tut was an Egyptian pharaoh famed for his opulent tomb, discovered intact in 1922, with his mask and mummy in his original sarcophagus

Valley of the Kings Queens
Next head to the nearby Valley of the Queens, where the wives of Pharaohs were buried during the 18th through 20th Dynasties The tomb of Nefertari
The tomb of Nefertari is arguably the most beautiful and well-preserved tomb in all of Luxor and has even been called the Sistine Chapel of Ancient Egypt. Following its discovery, the tomb was closed to the public in 1950 due to threats to the paintings and required restoration work. Today, access is restricted to an exclusive 100 visitors per day by special permit and included during your visit. Nefertari was Ramses II’s favorite wife, and the tomb is primarily focused on the Queen’s life and her death. The well-preserved paintings in her tomb are the most detailed source discovered of the ancient Egyptian’s journey towards the afterlife.
