Opened to the public, after restoration in 2004, the tomb of Roy is in the Dra al Naga area. Although it is only one small room, it is well worth the visit for the glowing colours of the wall paintings, some of which you can see below. Roy - it seems an odd name for an ancient Egyptian - was a royal scribe and a steward during the reign of Horemheb. His wife, Nebtawy, who had the title "Chantress of Amun", was also buried with him. Admission, coupled with the tomb of Shuroy is 12LE.

An interesting sight in this weighing of the heart scenel, is that the two hearts of Roy and his wife, are being tested against two representations of Maat - showing that this was to have been a joint burial
