The magnificent Valley of the Kings, renowned as the eternal resting place, is located within a mountain housing approximately 63 remarkable tombs dating back to the New Kingdom period (1570-1070 BC). It includes the tombs of famous figures such as Ramses the Great and Tutankhamen, featuring an extraordinary collection of treasures, artifacts, and wall decorations that are truly worth exploring.
