About KV54

KV54 is a numbered tomb site within the Valley of the Kings, located on the west bank of the Nile near Luxor, Egypt. The KV numbering identifies it as part of the Theban tomb system used by archaeologists.

The site presents rock-cut burial architecture typical of the Valley of the Kings but is primarily of archaeological interest rather than a major public exhibit. Tombs in this area show a wide range of preservation and decoration levels.

Valley of the Kings tombs were created during Egypt’s New Kingdom (roughly 16th to 11th centuries BCE) for royal and elite burials; many were looted in antiquity and later recorded and excavated by modern archaeologists.

Part of the Theban Necropolis on the West Bank near Luxor, the Valley of the Kings lies several kilometers west of the Nile opposite the modern city of Luxor.

  • Visitor access: Although catalogued with a Valley of the Kings number, individual tombs are subject to conservation restrictions and display status can change; check current access rules before planning a visit.
