Minister of Culture, Farouk Hosni, announced that the tomb of Haremhab, in the Valley of the King’s on Luxor’s West Bank, has been reopened following the installation of state-of-the-art equipment to control the rate of humidity within. He added that this tomb is the first to have such technology installed in an attempt to reduce and control the rate of humidity and heat, which has affected the tomb’s wall paintings in the past, leading to its original closure.

Dr. Zahi Hawass, Secretary General of the Supreme Council of Antiquities (SCA), said that a German organization, specializing in such technology, provided the equipment, following several years of scientific studies, in order to provide a suitable atmosphere in the tomb. A scientific team is now monitoring the efficiency of the equipment, as if all operates successfully the equipment will be installed in all tombs in the Valley of the Kings.

Re-visited KV. 57, for the first time in 21 years, in July. At the moment, not many people realise it's open, so it is possible to have the tomb, almost, to yourself & really look at the wall reliefs & see the way in which the tomb makers worked in detail. The tomb is also very cool & there's none of the humidity that you experience in some of the more popular tombs.

Overall, it's very much worth a visit.
