    Explore the intimate burial chambers of the Valley of the Queens.

    Tomb of King Tutankhamun (Tut)

    Next, explore the world-famous tomb of King Tutankhamun. Discovered nearly intact by Howard Carter in 1922, the tomb captured global attention with its treasures. While many artifacts now reside in the Egyptian Museum in Cairo, here you will see Tutankhamun’s mummy resting in its original burial place, offering a moving connection to the young pharaoh’s story.

(Note: General entry covers 3 tombs on rotation; special extra-ticket tombs like Tutankhamun are separate).
