  Valley of the Kings

  The Valley of the Kings was a necropolis in ancient Egypt. In ancient Egypt, the Valley of the Kings was called Sechet-aat (the great field). It is the largest necropolis of the Egyptian pharaohs. The tombs of the rulers of the new empire can be found in the Valley of the Kings. The valley is located in Thebes-West, opposite Karnak on the edge of the desert and is lined with high mountains. Despite millennia of activity of excavations and looting, the Valley of the Kings still provides Egyptologists with numerous extremely valuable grave finds. In 1922, the tomb of Tutankhamun was discovered largely intact by Howard Carter. The first clearly identified tomb in the Valley of the Kings comes from the Pharaoh Thutmose I. With Napoleon's expedition to Egypt the systematic search and opening of tombs began. In the Valley of the Kings you will visit three selected tombs.
