Tomb of Meresankh III

Great hidden find. Yes the guardian isn't always there and we only found the entrance after two loops around the area but it's Egypt so what do you expect. Sign says no photos, guardian pointed to it. Then as we finished up he said it's ok to make pictures. Of course he wanted a tip. I apparently gave him not enough and he said that was only enough to go to the toilet xD so I gave him some more and it was OK. If you don't take things to seriously you will have a great time around here. If you get annoyed easily then better not try to visit

The best hidden gem in the area! It is difficult to find a guy who has the key to open the tomb (yes, it is normally closed and you have to find this person to open for you) but it is totally worth it. It has a lot of paintings-writings all over the place and sculptures. Besides that, you will probably visit the place in a “private tour” since nobody knows this tomb. I strongly recommend :)

Not very well maintained. It was difficult it identify as the names only the ticket and the label does not matches most of times. Everyone asked for tips for no reason sometimes. Tickets are expensive for foreigners. This is underground and has a simple structure but goes deep.

It was closed for us as well – we waited for 15 minutes until someone finally showed up. He let us in but warned us, showing signs that said no photos were allowed and that we had to stay quiet. Then, he wanted to take our phones to take pictures of us himself – of course, we refused. He was loud, rushed us the entire time, and in the end, he patted his stomach, grabbed my arm, and asked for a tip 😂😂😂. Absolutely shameless. I understand cultural differences, but I paid for a ticket, the doors were locked, and when someone finally showed up, it was this bizarre man. The place itself is beautiful, but the person managing it is a joke. This kind of behavior will only drive tourists away 🤷🏻‍♂️

Very disappointed!!! Especially if you go alone. It's not worth the money, the time and the stress. It is not possible to enjoy the experience because every step you take there is someone to harass you. It can be a beggar or scammer or someone with a horse or a camel or someone wanting your phone to take a picture of you. The area outside the site is like frozen in time, camel and horse shit everywhere, beggars, locals offering taxi services, mountains of rubbish, smells really bad. The entrance fee is quite expensive and you don't need to pay to go inside the pyramids as there is nothing to see. After this awful experience I think it's better to stay somewhere in downtown or New Cairo and book a guide and go in a group otherwise you won't enjoy it.

The tomb has amazing hieroglyphs, incredibly beautiful depictions of ancient egyptian life. It’s definitely worth the roughly 220 EGP! The only bad thing is the people managing it. Rude, loud, rushing you around. Asking for a tip for doing nothing, ridiculous. But such are the people here, what a disgrace to this sacred place.

Maybe it's as beautiful as I hoped it would be however we bought tickets, showed up and there was no guard or tourism agent at the actual site. The door was padlocked. Came back later after another employee elsewhere said there should be one and still noone. The pyramids were great though!

really amazing place! great guide, great story and adventure! highly recommended
