Cross the Nile to the legendary Valley of the Kings, the royal burial ground of New Kingdom pharaohs. Explore elaborately decorated tombs, including those of Tutankhamun, Ramses VI, and Seti I. The vivid wall paintings, hieroglyphics, and symbolic inscriptions offer profound insights into ancient Egyptian beliefs about death, the afterlife, and the journey of the soul.
