Egypt Reopens Pharaoh Amenhotep III’s Tomb to the Public

Following an extensive restoration process spanning several years, the tomb of Pharaoh Amenhotep III has been reopened to visitors, according to reports from NTB. On Saturday, Egypt’s Minister of Tourism, Sherif Faty, officially presented the renovated tomb—dating back more than 3,000 years—to members of the press.


Mohamed Ismail Khaled, head of Egypt’s antiquities authority, explained that the tomb’s condition had deteriorated so significantly that it required over twenty years of meticulous restoration work to preserve and prepare it for public access. Amenhotep III, who ruled during the 18th Dynasty, is regarded as one of ancient Egypt’s most prominent pharaohs, and his tomb is considered an important archaeological site.

It's impressive to see how, after so many years of work, a place as significant as the tomb of Amenhotep III is finally reopened. Egyptian history has always fascinated the world, and the fact that this site can be accessed again today is a huge achievement for archaeology and tourism. Twenty years of restoration demonstrate the level of effort and dedication of the teams who worked to preserve a heritage more than 3,000 years old. Amenhotep III was no ordinary pharaoh; his reign marked a period of splendor in the 18th Dynasty, and his tomb reflects not only power but also the cultural richness of that era. Reopening it to the public not only attracts visitors but also educates people about the importance of caring for our historical legacy. I believe these types of projects inspire greater appreciation for the conservation of ancient monuments around the world.
