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**

The tomb is well worth the hefty price tag to visit and provides a well-rounded day of tombs if you're combining your visit with one to the Valley of Kings. To enter Nefertari's tomb, you'll pay 1400 EGP + 100 EGP for entry to the Valley of Queens. Your ticket for the Valley of Queens gives you access to the tombs in the valley, worth a visit on their own. Nefertari's tomb is incredible and very-well preserved. The visit doesn't feel rushed or crowded. You are given 10-15 minutes or so, but it is not strict and I believe you could stay for longer if you wanted to.

This tomb is one of the most beautiful and best reserved one in Valley of Queen & King. But the ticket is very expensive almost usd80 and it only allows you 10 MINS?!! It means usd8 per min. 😂What?! And the guard inside is very annoying for us. Keep blah blah blah. And then ask you for tip. You may want to ask him to shut up. I suggest everyone goes to the temple in dandarah a town near Luxor. It just costs less than 100 pounds for ticket and you can spend time as much as you want there and the color there are well reserved too.

What happens when the most powerful king on earth wants to build a tomb worthy of his favorite wife, "the one for whom the sun rises"? Simply, the absolute peak of sublime beauty that humanity can muster. Nothing can quite prepare you for how magnificent this tomb is. It is simply breathtaking. People in our group literally gasped in awe as we entered, and several had tears in their eyes. This crown jewel of the Valley of the Queens is worth every penny of the additional charge required to see it.

هنا تخلد أجمل قصص الحب بمقبرة نفرتارى، في وادى الملكات أقصى جنوب جبانة طيبة، الذي أطلق عليه المصرى القديم «تاست نفرو» ويعنى المكان الجميل، حيث خصص الوادى لدفن ملكات وأميرات وأمراء الأسرتين (19-20)، ويضم أكثر من ٧٠ مقبرة، أهمها مقبرة الملكة نفرتارى، زوجة الملك رمسيس الثانى، التي تحتفظ بجمال وروعة نقوشها. يشهد العالم إطلالة فريدة من الفن الفرعونى، الذي يطوى العديد من أسراره حتى الآن ولم يبُح بها، ويكمن جمالها في دقة التصوير وجمال الألوان، التي تغطى 520 مترًا من المقبرة. كانت الملكة نفرتارى، الزوجة الرئيسية لفرعون مصر الأشهر الملك رمسيس الثانى، 1290-1224 ق.م، وأم 6 من أهم أبنائه، وحفر لها الملك مقبرة رائعة بمنطقة وادى الملوك، من فرط حبه لها، وأنشأ لها معبدا في الصخر الطبيعى بمنطقة «أبوسمبل» إلى جوار معبده الكبير. كانت نفرتارى تحمل وتلد ويُعطى للمولود اسم، ولكنه لا يلبث أن يموت، وتكرر هذا عدة مرات، وكان رمسيس الثانى وليًا للعهد، قبل أن يصبح ملكًا؛ ثم تولى الحكم رسميًا وعمره 23 عامًا، وتكررت الولادات ووفاة المواليد. واعتقد رمسيس الثانى أن عينًا شريرة أصابت أولاده وكانت مصر تعرف التعاويذ من السحر والعين ولديها أشكال للتعاويذ والتمائم؛ خاصة عين حورس، وهى رمز وشعار مصرى قديم ذو خصائص تميمية، تستخدم للحماية من الحسد والأرواح الشريرة والحيوانات الضارة والمرض. أبهرت المقبرة زوارها وكتب حساب «جريس» على منصة «تريب أدفيزر»، أن زيارة مقبرة نفرتارى تجربة مدهشة وتستحق التكلفة، وبصفتى مسافرًا متمرسًا حول الأماكن الأثرية، يظل هذا الموقع أحد المواقع المفضلة لدى.
