KV9, the tomb of Ramesses V and VI in Egypt's Valley of the Kings, offers a captivating glimpse into New Kingdom funerary art. Accessible via vehicle from Luxor, visitors then walk within the Valley to the tomb entrance, which involves steps that may challenge those with mobility issues. While independent exploration is possible after purchasing a general Valley of the Kings ticket (typically covering 3-4 standard tombs, approx. 260 EGP, subject to change), a local guide can greatly enhance the experience with historical context. The Valley is open year-round, but spring and autumn offer the most pleasant weather, avoiding the extreme summer heat. A visit to KV9 itself usually takes 20-30 minutes, forming part of a half-day excursion to the Valley. The tomb is renowned for its well-preserved, vibrant astronomical and religious texts, including the celestial ceiling, offering a rich visual narrative of ancient Egyptian beliefs.
