TT54, Rock-cut tomb in Sheikh Abd el-Qurna, Egypt.

TT54 contains multiple chambers carved into the limestone cliffs of the Theban Necropolis, featuring stone work characteristics of New Kingdom architecture.

The tomb originally belonged to Hui, an Egyptian official during the reigns of Thutmose IV and Amenhotep III, before being taken over by Kenro in the 19th Dynasty.

The interior chambers display traditional Egyptian burial practices through architectural elements and spaces designed for eternal offerings to the deceased.

Access to TT54 requires coordination with local authorities and guides who can provide detailed information about the tomb's layout and significance.

The tomb's location on the west bank of the Nile offers direct views of ancient mortuary temples, connecting it physically with other ceremonial structures.
