Tomb of Khaemhet

Khaemhet is the second of the tombs. He was the scribe and inspector of granaries for Amenophis III. It is only reached through the forecourt of another tomb (which are not open to tourists).

The ceiling is patterned red and black, and there are reliefs of Khaemhat worshipping Re near the entrance. Inside, scenes of fishing and fowling and family scenes.
