Tutankhamun’s Tomb And Exciting Excursions Must-See Wonders in Luxor

Tomb of Tutankhamun's story begins in 1922, when Howard Carter, one of the most famous discoveries of the Valley of the Kings, came along. Carter, funded by Lord Carnarvon, discovered the tomb having remained hideaway for almost 3 thousand years. Unlike many royal tombs, Tutankhamun's tomb was hardly disturbed, where thousands of treasures were found, including gold artifacts, statues, and the world-famous golden mask.

The discovery changed perceptions of ancient Egypt, and, today, the tomb turned to be the highlight on day tours to Luxor, Egypt Classic Tours, and Egypt travel packages. Those on an Egyptian Nile Cruise Tour often bundle a visit to the tomb with their cruise, marrying history with a relaxing ride along the Nile. Whether you chose to do a day tour of Luxor or get on Luxury Egypt Tours, Tutankhamun's Tomb remains among the very unforgettable sites in Luxor. Even family or solo tours in Luxor would center around Tutankhamun’s Tomb, given its historic weight and the compelling story of the boy king.

Inside Tutankhamun’s Tomb: Treasures, Artifacts, and Ancient Secrets

Stepping inside Tutankhamun’s Tomb is like entering a time capsule into ancient Egypt itself. The tomb walls are decorated with bright colors that narrate the boy king’s journey to the afterlife. Visitors witness precise hieroglyphics, images of gods--Osiris, Anubis, and Hathor--and symbols of protection and rebirth.

The tomb had once stored over 5,000 artifacts, golden shrines, jewelry, statues, chariots, and, of course, the world-famous golden mask. As many of the treasures are now displayed in the Grand Egyptian Museum, the world of the tomb, nonetheless, provides a very special experience on Luxor Day Tours, Egypt Classic Tours, and Luxury Egypt Tours. For travelers on an Egyptian Nile Cruise Tour or a day trip to Luxor, visiting the tomb repairs the information on the burial ritual practiced by ancient Egyptians and also the marked life of Tutankhamun.
