Visited 31 October 2022. Included with the purchase of the Premium Luxor Pass. This New Kingdom tomb is the best preserved in both the Valeys of the Kings and Queens bar Seti I. Both of these tombs require the purchase of an extra ticket to view and this is where the Premium Luxor Pass pays for itself. QV66 is the tomb of the favourite and prime wife of King Ramses II, the famed Nefertari. She was known by many titles, including Great of Praises, Sweet of Love, Lady of Grace, Great King’s Wife, His Beloved, Lady of The Two Lands, Lady of all Lands, Wife of the Strong Bull, god’s Wife, Mistress of Upper and Lower Egypt and The One for Whom the Sun Shines. Nefertari is one of the most renowned Queens of Egypt not to have ruled in her own right and died when she was only 46 years old. Please note that visits inside the tomb are limited to fifteen minutes to preserve the beautiful work inside the tomb. I'd recommend paying the extra ticket or purchasing the Luxor Pass to see this tomb. The Valley of the Queens is far less visited so you won't have the huge crowds that descend on the Valley of the Kings.

The tomb of Nefertari, with an entrance fee of 2000 LE and 10 minutes of entrance only. If you choose the right time when the tomb is empty you'll figure out that 10 minutes is doable. The paintings, engravings and structure inside the tomb is still very beautiful and the colours are rich. Compared to other tombs, none of the walls are protected by glass sheets (gladly, because they are always dirty!). The most impressive parts are the first room at the right side after entry and the walls on the main stairs. I figured out that the type of paintings are different from other tombs, so that makes it interesting to see too. Verdict: lots of money for a small but beautiful tomb. If you don't want to spend the money, visit Deir el-Medina, those tombs are beautiful too!

**The most guarded and protected tomb in all of Egypt** Probably one of the most detailed and more most colorful Rich tombs in all of Egypt. It was very well preserved. You can tell how much she was loved by the Pharaoh. It's going to cost you in addition ticket. Totally worth it. **Also don't be an idiot and do yourself a favor and get a tour guide he/she will explain everything you're looking at before hand. It makes the experience that much better to know what you're staring at rather than just guessing** **You only get 10 mins to be inside this tomb, plus they only allow 300 visitors per/day. Get there early**

Not worth it! Beautiful colours but they are not the original ones (they have been restored at least twice) so the idea that this has been “preserved” is a bit misleading. The price of 1400LE is completely unjustified, and there is no discounted price for students despite offering a student price for the valley of the queens itself. Then they have the cheek to post a sign outside the tomb saying 10 minutes max - why wasnt this info at the ticket office? Then the guards tried to kick us out after 5 minutes, after 6 etc etc - clearly looking for a tip which we wouldn’t give them. The 1000LE for Seti I in valley of the kings is much more worth it (though still very pricey!) as it is a huge tomb with many beautiful colours. This tiny tomb is overhyped and overrated in our opinion - save your money and give...

تعد مقبرة الملكة نفرتاري التي يمكن العثور عليها في وادي الملكات على الضفة الغربية لمدينة الأقصر ، من أجمل مقابر مصر. يحتوي هذا القبر على الكثير من الجوانب "المبهرة". درجة التفاصيل لا تصدق، والألوان أكثر روعة من أي من المقابر أو المعابد أو الأهرامات الأخرى في مصر. ضع مقبرة الملكة نفرتاري في قائمتك إذا كنت تريد رؤية كيف كانت المقابر قبل 3000 عام.

تأتي هذه المقبرة بتكلفة عالية: 1400 جنيهًا مصريًا (حوالي 90 دولارًا أمريكيًا اعتبارًا من يناير 2021). هل الأمر إذن جدير بالاهتمام؟ نعم، نعتقد ذلك. مقبرة الملكة نفرتاري رائعة بشكل مذهل، وسوف تصاب بالذهول عندما تتجول داخلها. ظلت المقبرة غير متاحة للجمهور ما لم يتم شراء إذن خاص بقيمة 20 ألف جنيه مصري لزيارة واحدة. قم بإلقاء نظرة على جولة الصور الخاصة بنا أدناه لترى بنفسك. لكن أولاً، القليل من المعلومات الأساسية عن الملكة نفرتاري ومقبرتها.

حقائق مثيرة عن الملكة نفرتاري ومقبرتها: كانت الملكة الأولى لرمسيس الثاني (المعروفة أيضًا باسم رمسيس العظيم) وأعز زوجاته هي الملكة نفرتاري. لم يكن لديها واحدة من أجمل المقابر في وادي الملوك والملكات فحسب، بل بنى لها رمسيس الثاني أيضًا معبدًا، وهو المعبد الصغير في أبو سمبل، تخليدًا لذكراها.

نفرتاري ميريتموت هو اسمها الكامل، والذي يعني "الأجمل، المفضلة لدى الإلهة موت". تعد مقبرة الملكة نفرتاري، QV66، واحدة من أكبر وادي الملكات. تبلغ مساحتها 520 مترًا مربعًا، وهي مزينة بجداريات الملكة نفرتاري النابضة بالحياة. وكان تابوتها موجودًا سابقًا في وسط الغرفة، لكن لصوص المقابر استولوا على كل شيء، بما في ذلك الثروات المخبأة ومومياء الملكة نفرتاري. وعندما تم اكتشاف المقبرة عام 1904، كان كل ما تم اكتشافه هو ركبتي نفرتاري المحنطة. وقد تم التبرع بها الآن إلى المتحف المصري .

وتظهر نفرتاري في لوحات ملونة جميلة على جدران المقبرة. وهذا يدل على رأي زوجها بها ومدى عشقه لها. يحتوي كتاب الموتى أيضًا على عدة فصول تهدف إلى إرشاد نفرتاري حول كيفية التحول إلى طائر في الحياة الآخرة. تم كشف المقبرة وإغلاقها أمام الجمهور عدة مرات منذ اكتشافها عام 1904. وتم ترميم الجداريات الموجودة في مقبرة الملكة نفرتاري منذ 30 عامًا لمنع التدهور بسبب تلف المياه وتكوين الأملاح وتطور البكتيريا.

تتغير لوائح التقاط الصور بانتظام. اعتبارًا من يناير 2021، يُسمح بالتصوير بالهاتف المحمول دون شراء تذكرة كاميرا. لا يُسمح بالكاميرات (حتى كاميرات DSLR التي لا تحتوي على فلاش)، وكاميرات GoPro، وكاميرات التوجيه والتقاط الصور. بدون استخدام الفلاش، تم التقاط جميع الصور الموجودة في هذا المنشور باستخدام الهاتف المحمول. الصور لا تذكر القبر لأن الأضواء الموجودة في القبر تنتج ضبابًا أصفر. قمنا بتغيير توازن اللون الأبيض ولكننا...
