Liked : Tomb of Sennefer, worth a look for sure followed by Benia. Disliked : Bit of a slog in the heat and the steps were a killer too.

Although just two tombs are open it was interesting to visit these to see the similarities in how the tombs were constructed – naturally very similar to the Valley of the Kings but much smaller – however the decoration was superior to that found in the Valley of the Kings. – Still well worth a visit.

We were the only people there, its not well known so not many tourists go there. Saw the best tomb in Egypt.

Not anywhere near as interesting as other tombs and difficult access.

This site is not often visited, but is well worth a visit, some lovely statues in the tombs

Another of the must-do things whilst in Luxor. Very interesting.

we had the most fun in the tomb of Rekhmire where the tomb guard used mirrors to shine light from the sun on the walls so that we could see all the paintings!!!

Saw only a couple of tombs, but very quiet and well worth the small fee. This is the tombs of the middle classes
