The blue and white colors on the walls inside the burial chamber are very vibrant and you can see the king's sarcophagus made of rose-colored granite. There is also a beautiful scene of goddess Nut on the ceiling, where she is depicted swallowing the sun, and it traveling through her stomach, for Nut to give birth to it.

Ragab and his team gave me the best gift I could have ever wished for when I traveled to Egypt on a whim for my 30th birthday with no set plans or expectations. I found their whatsapp number online and messaged them late at night before my flight to Luxor at 4am. He replied immediately despite it being after 9pm and promised to arrange a pickup for me at the airport, to my hotel. He then, sent another driver to pick us up from the hotel later in the morning for the actual tour. He wanted to make sure we had time to rest and change since we had gotten in so early. His prices were the most competitive for Luxor tours and for airport transfers that I had been quoted. I only had a day in Luxor before moving on to Hurghada so he managed to pack 2 days worth of tours for me in one. As if that wasn’t impressive enough, he then surprised me based on an off-handed comment I’d made about traveling for my birthday, with an entire custom prepared mini lunch buffet for me at an authentic Egyptian restaurant with local delicacies and covered the tab! I don’t know when he had the time to arrange all of this or where he gets this superhuman level of hospitality from but I am forever blessed by his love for his country, history and all those that want to experience that magic with him. Though we had a lot to see in one day, he made sure he didn’t rush through any location. His tour was extremely detailed on both the West and East Bank and he helped us take the most amazing photos. I am forever grateful. Ragab showed me the real magic in Egypt isn’t just the splendor of their ancient artifacts but the amazing warmth and kindness of its people.The 2 days trip was great, we enjoyed every minute of it.
