Über Tombs of the Nobles (Theban Necropolis)
The Tombs of the Nobles at Luxor charge foreign adults between EGP 100 and 200 per tomb group as of 2026, sold as separate tickets by group. These New Kingdom private tombs, cut for viziers, mayors, scribes and priests, sit in the hillsides of Sheikh Abd el-Qurna, Al-Asasif and Al-Khokha on the west bank. Their painted scenes show daily life, farming, feasts and workshops, which the royal tombs do not. The Tombs of the Nobles are small, cool and quiet, and suit visitors who want colour and human detail rather than scale. Several groups are open at once, and each is ticketed separately, so budget per group rather than per site.
Beste Tageszeit: 06:00 - 09:00. When the tombs are cool and empty and the small chambers can be viewed without waiting.

Foreign tickets are sold per tomb group, not as one site pass, and prices differ by group. The Ministry of Tourism and Antiquities price list gives foreign adult prices as of 2026 of EGP 200 (student EGP 100) for the Ramose group and the Menna and Nakht group, EGP 120 (student EGP 60) for Rekhmire and Sennefer, and EGP 120 for Userhat and Khonsu; Egyptian adults pay EGP 10-20 per group. Other sources quote EGP 150 for the Menna, Nakht and Ramose groups and EGP 100 for Rekhmire and Sennefer, which conflicts with the ministry list, so verify at the official site or the ticket office. Children under 6 are generally free; verify. Which tombs are open changes, so confirm on the day. Card payment is standard.

Geschichte von Tombs of the Nobles (Theban Necropolis)
The Tombs of the Nobles of Thebes are private tombs of officials of the Eighteenth Dynasty and later, cut into the limestone hills of Sheikh Abd el-Qurna, Al-Asasif and Al-Khokha. Their chapels are decorated with scenes of everyday and ritual life. They are numbered as Theban Tombs, abbreviated TT.
Ramose (TT55) was a vizier under Amenhotep III and Akhenaten, and his unfinished tomb is notable for fine relief in a transitional style. Sennefer (TT96), a mayor of Thebes, is known as the Tomb of the Vineyards for its grape-covered ceiling. Rekhmire (TT100), a vizier of the Thutmose III era, shows foreign tribute-bearers and craft workshops. Menna (TT69) and Nakht (TT52) hold agricultural, hunting and banquet scenes. Attributions of dates and reigns for some owners are debated, so verify against a current guide. The tombs lie within Ancient Thebes, a UNESCO World Heritage Site since 1979.
Regeln & Etikette in Tombs of the Nobles (Theban Necropolis)
Tombs of the Nobles visitors may not touch the painted walls, and each tomb has a guard who enforces this. Photography rules vary by tomb, and flash is prohibited everywhere; ask the guard before using a phone. Drones and tripods are banned.
Tombs of the Nobles guards commonly unlock the door, switch on the lights and expect a tip of EGP 20-50 per tomb. Tickets are sold per group, at the main west-bank ticket office or at the group entrance, and the ticket is checked at each tomb; confirm where to buy on the day. Tomb chambers are low and hot, with steep stairs, so wear closed shoes and skip them if you dislike confined spaces. Many tombs are small and hold only a few people at once, so wait outside for your turn.
Tipps für den Besuch von Tombs of the Nobles (Theban Necropolis)
- 1
Tombs of the Nobles visitors should pick one or two groups rather than trying to cover everything. Sennefer (TT96) and Rekhmire (TT100), sold as a pair, are the best-known combination, and Menna (TT69) and Nakht (TT52) give the more intimate domestic scenes.

Tombs of the Nobles are a good pairing with the Ramesseum, which is close by, and with Deir el-Medina, where the tomb-builders lived. Ask the ticket office which tombs are open before paying, since closures for conservation are common and are not always posted. The paintings are fragile, so hold a phone light away from the wall. Because the tombs are small, morning is best. Water and shade are limited on the hillside, and the climb between groups is short but steep.
