Tips for Visiting KV44#

  • KV44 sits in the Valley of the Kings where access to specific tombs changes frequently - confirm at the visitor centre which tombs are included on the day's circuit to avoid wasted travel.
  • Plan an early visit when the Valley first opens to dodge the main tour groups and the midday heat that can make interiors uncomfortable.
  • Many visitors stick to the most famous tombs; ask a guide or the ticket office about any small painted or undecorated chambers that are open that day, as these are often missed.
