Ancient kings were buried in the Valley of the Kings. In 1922, Howard Carter found the tomb of King Tutankhamun there. There are also 61 other ancient tombs besides this one, though only a small number are open to the public. Some of the tombs are included in our tours, but you need a separate ticket to get into “special” tombs. At the site, you can buy tickets to see these tombs.
