Tomb of Tutankhamun

Located in the Valley of the Kings in Luxor, this burial site (designated as KV62) is the final resting place of the pharaoh Tutankhamun. While the structure is smaller than those of other pharaohs, it is visited for the lavish burial treasures and artifacts discovered within its chambers.

Getting there from Luxor city centre typically involves crossing the Nile to the West Bank via ferry or bridge, followed by a taxi or shuttle ride to the Valley of the Kings. The journey generally takes 30 to 45 minutes depending on traffic and transport mode.

Planning Your Visit

Allow approximately 1 to 2 hours to explore the tomb and read the accompanying information. Because of its global recognition, this site frequently becomes crowded, particularly during peak tourist hours.

To avoid the highest temperatures and the largest crowds, visit in the early morning. The cooler winter months are generally more comfortable for exploring the desert terrain of the valley.
