Simply the most beautiful place I have ever been. This tomb has been wonderfully conserved, so the wall paintings are bright and vivid. Its absolutely worth the price of the special ticket to see this wonderful tomb, and the extra trip around to the Valley of the Queens. Photography is strictly forbidden, although one guardian did try to solicit a tip for a sly photo, but it was really worth just focussing on the experience of this wonderful space. A must for any visit to Egypt.

Would highly recommend this site! Parked in the parking lot but in order to board the included shuttle, you will need to walk through the "Valley of the Vendors." They are relentless in pursuing you, if you show an interest in their goods. There is no charge to take photos with your cell phone or regular cameras. Absolutely, there is no shade. Great to get a photo shot with the temple in the background before you investigate the interior. It is helpful to have a guide to explain things to you. Would recommend about 1.5 to 2 hours here. If you do or don't have a guide, it is helpful to read up on the temple before you arrive. It is an immense temple that rises amid the limestone cliffs, built about 1473-1485 BC.

At over 240 feet long and 66 feet high, it’s a wonder that this mysterious sculpture was carved from a solid limestone block.

9. The Sphinx of Memphis

This impressive monument, carved in honor of an unknown Pharaoh during the 18th Dynasty, is 26 feet long, 13 feet tall and weighs approximately 90 tons.
Reviewed By JMcD202003 - Fishers, United States
As part of our overall tour, we visited the ancient capital of Egypt at Memphis. Although there did not appear to be much in the way of temples or historical sites (the current town probably sits over most of the former site), we did visit the place where there is the Alabaster Sphinx. This is very impressive and still in very good condition. Another item at this location which to me was even more impressive was the lying down statue of Ramses II. Although the bottom portion of both legs is missing, the quality of the sculpture of this famous Pharaoh is one of the best in Egypt. It is made of red granite, highly polished, and is extremely well done. It is so large, you must go up the stairs to a viewing area that looks down onto the statue, The statue and sphinx are a "must-see" for any tour and can be combined with a visit to the step pyramid at "Saqqara".
10. Statue of Ramses II

Pharaoh Ramses II statue has stood in a square outside Cairo's main railway station for 50 years. The statue is is 3,200 years old and weighs 83 tons.
Reviewed By DEK_29 - Brisbane, Australia
This colossal statue of Ramses II has been laying in its building for many years while its companion which stood at Midan Ramses has been moved to the new Greater Egyptian Museum where it received some needed cleaning and restoration. Meanwhile, this statue has seen many visitors and is the highlight at Mit Rahina. The craftsmanship in creating this work can be seen in the way the sculptors gave definition to the muscles of the arms and the upper legs. A good wander around this statue at ground level and the viewing platform does't take long but it is well worth the effort of a visit.
