Really not worth the asking price. If you pick 3 of the better included tombs in Kings Valley, plus the EGP100 for Remesis V I'd say you won't be wowed by Seti I. On the other hand I thought the Nefertari at EGP1400 was the one to see if you had to pick one of the pricy ones.

This tomb is very expensive, and it just opened again in 2017. With the 1000 EGP it might not be worth it as a stand alone ticket, but it is worth it with the Luxor Pass. The reliefs are amazing, and by far one of the most preserved, and largest tomb in the valley. With such a steep price, you will most probably be by yourself in the tomb.

Tomb KV17 Finally I got my page back It's located in thr Valley of the Kings, Egypt. It's the tomb of Pharaoh Seti I of the Nineteenth Dynasty and is one of the best decorated tombs in the valley. The tomb of Seti I is among the most decorated tombs of the valley and is covered with numerous decorations and religious text inscriptions. The tomb is also known as "Belzoni's tomb" because it was first discovered by Giovanni Battista Belzoni on 16 October 1817. ️When he first entered the tomb he found the wall paintings in excellent condition with the paint on the walls still looking fresh and some of the artists paints and brushes still on the floor. Also it was known as the "Apis tomb" because when Belzoni discovered the tomb a mummified bull representing the bull god Apis was found in a side room off the burial chamber. It's the longest tomb in the valley, at 137.19 meters (450.10 feet). Now the tomb is almost always closed to the public due to damage. KV17 was damaged when Jean-François Champollion, translator of the Rosetta Stone, removed a wall panel of 2.26 x 1.05 m (7.41 x 3.44 ft) during his 1828-29 expedition. Other elements were removed by his companion Rossellini or the German expedition of 1845.

تعد مقبرة سيتي الأول الأطول والأعمق والأكثر جمالًا ضمن مقابر وادي الملوك. كان سيتي الأول (1294-1279 ق.م) هو الملك الثاني من الأسرة التاسعة عشرة ، وأب رمسيس الثاني. وحملت مقبرته رقم 17 في وادي الملوك كما سميت أيضاً بـ "مقبرة بيلزوني" نسبة لمكتشفها.

Ce tombeau est magnifique. Si vous n'êtes que de passage à louxor la visite simple des 3 tombeaux proposés dans le billet est ce qu'il vous faut. Si vous êtes un fan d'egyptologie ou si vous venez pour la seconde fois et que vous êtes là pour en voir plus alors je dirais que cela vaut le coup. Si vous devez choisir entre les billets extras : Toutankhamon, Ramses 6 et seti 1. Alors sans hésité Seti, puis Ramses et vous pouvez laisser Toutankhamon sans aucun regret excepté celui de ne pas avoir fait le musée du Caire qui dispose de tous les trésors de roi.
