Despite his short reign, his name lives on thanks to the incredible treasures found in his nearly intact tomb. During your visit, you'll come face to face with his royal mummy inside his original burial chamber in the Valley of the Kings—an unforgettable encounter with ancient history.

The tomb of Ramesses III (KV11) is one of the most remarkable in the Valley of the Kings. Known since antiquity, it features vibrant sunken reliefs with traditional funerary texts like the Litany of Ra and the Book of Gates, showing the king before various gods on his journey to the afterlife. Uniquely, KV11 also includes rare secular scenes in side chambers near the entrance. These show detailed images of foreign tribute—such as Aegean pottery—along with boats, weapons from the royal armory, and blind harpists playing music. This last scene earned it the nickname “Tomb of the Harpers.” KV11 stands out for its mix of divine and daily life, offering a vivid picture of Ramesses III’s world.

The Colossi of Memnon – These two colossal statues are among the largest and most iconic in Egypt. Dating back to the reign of King Amenhotep III of the 18th Dynasty, they stand 18 meters tall, each representing the king seated on his throne. These monumental statues were originally placed at the entrance of Amenhotep III's mortuary temple, which is now mostly in ruins. The Colossi are famous not only for their size but also for the mysterious "singing" sounds that were once heard at dawn, caused by the rise in temperature and the expansion of the stone. Today, they remain a striking symbol of ancient Egypt’s grandeur and engineering.
