This tomb is an old friend from many books, but nothing can compare to seeing it in context and inches from your own eyes. One small room to be savored. And because Sennedjem was a tomb artisan, maybe he did the decoration himself...
I have an old love to that tomb. Full of colours, beautiful details and although it is too small, yet you can esily spend an hour watching all details.Unfortunately (or maybe fortunately) they installed Plastic walls to cover the colours and to protect them from people touching the old drawings.Be sure that the guards are running the fans, It is a bit difficult to breath in summer.
This small tomb is considered to be even more beautiful than the tombs in the Valley of the Kings, not for its complex composition, as that found in the pharaohs' tombs, but for its vibrant colours that have been preserved until its recent discovery only a bit over a hundred years ago. This artist, who was an official painter of pharaohs' tombs, painted his own tomb which would explain the top quality of artistry. However there is one more tomb that I found to be even more beautiful than this one. If you can't get enough of tombs, then I highly recommend the Valley of the Nobles (see my review).
Senadjem's tomb is considered to be one of the best and it is good, but others are better. Visit the tombs of Roy and of Rekhmire in Gourna and compare.
Actually much better than most tombs, well worth seeing with a helpful guide for a littel backsheesh at the end.
You must see this tiny but beautifully painted tomb. Try and hire a guide like Shaimaa Baheeg who can explain in advance, using postcards, what you'll see and what to look out for.
Some of the most stunning tomb paintings in Luxor. Learn about the village of the craftsmen who built the tombs of the kings and walk in their footsteps.
Most of the tombs you get to visit are royal tombs, but here you get a chance to see the artisans tombs. Although, naturally, an upper class tomb, it is different and more alive than the stricter royal tombs. If you are on your own, get a taxi for half a day and strike a deal with the driver. Then you can decide your own little trip. So convenient and price worth.
Well worth the visit not only do you get access to a gorgeous tomb alive with colour but also the temple which is stunning. Not too many people visit, so like many places on the West Bank we had the entire sight to ourselves. The guardians here are also lovely, and far less pushy than the the ones at the more famous and visited sites.They insisted I sat with them and had some tea even when I pointed out I had no money.
not many people know about this place...you would think that it was painted yesterday as the paint is that colourful, the detail is amazing and the guide will give you an explanation of the tomb...a must if you are in the west bank
