What travelers are saying
- Martin HHong Kong, China699 contributionsThis tomb wasn't included in our tour of the Valley of the Queens but our guide strongly recommended that we pay the extra and visit it. Thank goodness he encouraged us to do it as this is probably the most impressive of the tombs we saw on the west bank.
The colours are still remarkable after thousands of years and teh paintings as a consequence are fantastic.Written March 16, 2023This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

The original paintings remain intact and there are also lots of hieroglyphics on the walls. It's amazing that most of the paintings are still intact even after thousands of years. Very humbling experience. Do not miss this tomb.Written December 28, 2021This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- eLaReFScotland, UK18,889 contributionsWe arrived the week before and our driver said it had to be ready for the concerts. I spent the next week being sceptical, I must admit, but on the Saturday of the 1st Performance, all was tidied up and transformed.
After that it was certainly in use by families and locals to stroll, sit and generally enjoy a nice time.
Yes, the touts are still there, but I can ignore them.Written January 30, 2020This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

Great tomb to enter if you are making a trip here.Written April 13, 2022This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- D1spmRedditch, UK1,514 contributionsSimilar to the other Obelisks by way of spectacular. Each one is different by way of the hieroglyphs that are carved in. Whilst walking around you will easily see them allWritten April 9, 2022This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- Beth WallaceGranada, Spain39 contributionsIt's a tiny out-of-the-way temple but boy does it deliver! It's excellently preserved/restored with some good colour on the amazing reliefs on the inner-sanctum walls - make sure to bring a torch or phone with torch as when we visited the internal lights illuminating the space between the outer & inner walls, as well as the side rooms, weren't working - which actually made it pretty atmospheric! A very special place indeed, well worth taking the time to find.Written April 5, 2019This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- jreynolds2014Dallas, TX132 contributionsWe saw Rames III, V/VI (costs extra), Seti I (costs extra, and Ramses 4. That left time to zip over to the Valley of the Queens to see the PHENOMENAL Nefertari tomb (do it). All were wonderful but the 2 most beautiful were Rmses V/VI and Seti I. Ramses 4 was third runner -up.Written January 27, 2023This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC. Tripadvisor performs checks on reviews.
- Ahmed YosryCairo, Egypt120 contributionsAmazing tomb of a statesman during the reign of Amenhotep II, with fascinating drawing of mundane and religious contexts and most famous for the ceiling with grapes drawing.
Highly recommended.
Side Note : not recommended fro claustrophobics or people with heart issues, since it is very high to reach the entrance and long way down to get inside.Written March 6, 2023This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

The columns and obolus are amazingWritten October 22, 2022This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC. Tripadvisor performs checks on reviews.
- David B LLos Angeles, CA8,326 contributionsWe stopped in at the Temple of Montu - south of Luxor on our way back from visiting the West Bank - & so pleased that we did. We learned that a large number of Nubian families were uprooted by the rising water resulting from the Aswan Dam & were relocated to the Luxor and Kom Ombo areas. They are primarily farmers, craftspeople and produce ethnic Nubian items. We purchased some textile & leather goods at the Nubian House Cultural Centre as the Proceeds help the local Nubian people. Worthwhile visit!Written February 8, 2019This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC. Tripadvisor performs checks on reviews.
- Hyoga83Bordeaux, France695 contributionsRamose was vizier of Amenhotep III, then of his son Amenhotep IV aka Akhenaten. Therefore it is pretty special, even if unfinished, as you can see this dualism. The fine engravings and the sheer size of the tomb are also awe-inspiring.
The columned hall is beautiful.
The area well merits a visit, it is super quiet!Written April 5, 2022This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

Just OK.Written March 2, 2020This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC. Tripadvisor performs checks on reviews.
- Peter RDartford, UK1,084 contributionsAnother great Tomb to visit, not as large as some of the others as this pharaoh only ruled for two years giving little time to build a huge tomb for him.Written January 31, 2023This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- DEK_29Brisbane, Australia1,087 contributionsThe Botanical Garden of Thutmosis III has a wonderful collection of flora and fauna the the Egyptian army under Thutmose III encountered on his campaigns in Syria and Palestine. Thutmose campaigned for most of his life to expand the influence of Egypt and is remembered as Ancient Egypt's Napoleon. It doesn't take a great deal of time to view the 'botanical gardens' of Thutmose III however, it is worthwhile when you realize this maybe the first study of botany and zoology.Written September 12, 2020This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- TTOverseasCairo, Egypt206 contributionsWe loved these "off the beaten trail" areas. We had to wake up the guards in the area to have them open up- Once again, the Luxor Pass comes in handy, as there are no tickets for sale here and we made the decision to stop be at the last minute.
The paintings are the most impressive part here and we liked the unique design- The Corridor gets taller as you walk in. As with much of our tour- in the middle of the high turist season- we were alone throughout and unhurried. Our Tour Guide awas allowed in and pointed out many unique pictures.
The lack of reviews and pictures is depressing... Shows why the beaten trail is so beaten...Written February 8, 2020This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC. Tripadvisor performs checks on reviews.
