Tombs of the Nobles

Most people skip this due to lack of time.
I recommend these tombs as they are unique and beautiful.
There is a fair amount of walking and uphill climb.
Ticket Entry 60 egp makes it totally worth it.

There are two tombs you get to see
1. Rekhmire - the drawings and inscriptions give you great idea of Egyptian life, gifts from Europeans, Construction of tomb and a party scene.
2. Sennofer - tomb of the vineyards as the ceiling is covered in paintings of grapes. It is a tunnel down and very low height at some places
All in all it will take you 40 minutes to see this.
Please note the tickets for this is available at a separate ticket office nearby not on site.

Visited with luxor pass for free. Not one of the best sites, glad I didnt pay but I suppose it would be fair value for money as it is a big site with lots of tombs. Personally I only visited four tombs, the best ones were Ramose (by souvenir shop) and Sennefer (further up the hill on the left).

We had a very peaceful and lovely visit to the tombs. There are 2 sets of tombs each with its own ticket. 1 set is for T96 and 100. Very beautiful. 2nd set is for T55, 56, 57, with many interesting things to see. The gate keepers show you some of the interesting figures and help to light up the inside to see better. Give them a nominal tip and they are very happy and appreciative.

Not close to being as popular as Valley of the Kings, these were the tombs for workers who actually built the tombs in the valley. In other words, the credit probably goes to them. I somehow believe the work we see here could've been their experimentation before doing the royal version.

Nobles houses very cool see how workers lived all the way to noble house. Worth stop easy walk flatter than

The tickets must be purchased at the main ticket office before Medina Habu temple. Ita at traffic corcle before you go up road. One road ine traffic circle

Less frequented than other sites, you may find yourself to be the only tourists visiting if you go. It isn't on most package tours so you'll need to arrange for it on your own. There are only 2-3 tombs open on any given day but it's very worthwhile to see nonetheless. Flash photography is not permitted in the tombs. Like all sites there can be persistent vendors. We had one who was particularly annoying, but I recognize his need to make a living under difficult circumstances.

There are 16 tombs open to public of around 450 discovered. Unfortunately there is no map so it is difficult to navigate around. Usually there will be a guy who will meet you at the parking and offer to show you around (for a tip), which we accepted and were quite happy because it saved us a lot of time. We saw 6 tombs of which Sennofer was very interesting. You will probably have the tombs all to yourself as this place is very little frequented.

Even more spectacular than the valley of kings. Beautiful depiction of the life of the middle class. Amazing colors. Amazing roof paintings. Just go there. It is truly underappreciated.

A must see for anyone visiting Luxor. Overlooked by most tourists, these tombs are visual treasures. Don’t miss the arbor on the ceiling of Sennefer’s tomb. Come early and bring a hat.

A very astounding place for those who are in deep love for the Ancient Egyptians. They are 36 tombs of the nobles of Ancient Egyptians, 3 only are open for visits, the tombs of; Nakht, Menna and Amenempet.

So different than all the other tombs. And nice quiet. Not a lot of tourists. Recommended to do this with kids, because of the pictures of daily life from the ancient egyptians on the wall.

Ancient Egyptian Cemetery for the nobles and Grand Viziers of Ancient Egyptian Kings with amazing drawings and carvings showing how it felt like living back in those times.

Some tombs are amazing to see, others seem forgotten and have a cheep ticket but inside you find wonderful reliefs and hieroglyphics.

Lots of wonderful tiny tombs of the ancient Egyptian nobles scattered in different areas on the west bank of Luxor.
Highly recommend to visit
Tomb of Sennefer.
Tomb of Rakhmire
Tomb of Nakht
Tomb of Mina
Tomb of Ramose

The tombs of the Valley of the Nobles are very beautiful, interesting and impressive. It's really worth knowing.

Excellent place to see the tombs if the elite during 18th to 19th dynasty.

Very small tombs but it is definitely more interesting. Royal tombs show how the kings worship the gods, however, the tombs of the Nobles show how people worked during that time, such as wine making, harvesting, etc. It is way more interesting if you are sick and tired seeing all the same gods on the walls of different temples.

The tomb keepers will show you around, and you may have to tip them from 5 pounds to 20 pounds depending on how much work they do and how generous you are. If you are really welcome, they may invite you to sit down for a cup of tea.

The tickets are sold at another place, it is usually on the way here. Be aware

If you've got a bit more time its worth taking a look, didn't get many photos.

While Kings and Queen's valley show all the grandiose and divine worship of ancient Egypt, the nobles tombs show their daily lives. Grain harvesting, fishing, music playing, giant plates of food, all their wishes for next life are written on the walls. A must see. Pictures inside the tombs are not allowed, but the "guardian" will pretend to be blind for 20 EGP.

Fantastic tombs and basically empty can’t recommend enough
