Tomb of Queen Nefertari
Visit the Tomb of Nefertari, often referred to as the Sistine Chapel of Ancient Egypt.
As there are so many tombs in Egypt, it is important to know which ones are the most interesting. One of the best preserved and least visited is the Tomb of Nefertari, an ideal place to see hieroglyphs in action. Considered to be the most eloquent and best preserved of any Egyptian burial site, the wall pictogram drew inspiration from the Book of the Dead while narrating stories of the Queen's life and death.
Due to preservation efforts, the ticket allows permission to enter the tomb for a maximum of 10 minutes.
