If you can only see one tomb, other than King Tut's, this is the one. The walls are heavily decorated with scenes from Ramses VI life.

You will have to pay an additional 50 L.E. to enter this tomb. After seeing three tombs you get to see after paying the original entrance fee, this tomb will seem familiar. However, if you love tombs and Egyptian history, go see it.

No words to describe it, very large, very deep and all beautifully painted. You have to see it to believe it.

You have to pay an additional fee to enter this tomb, however it is well worth the visit. The pictures are all fantastically preserved while the tomb itself is just a thing of beauty (as far as dead places go)
