TT255, Ancient Egyptian tomb in Dra' Abu el-Naga, Egypt

The TT255 tomb features a single chamber with decorated walls displaying detailed paintings of ancient Egyptian religious and daily life scenes.

Royal scribe Roy and his wife Nebtawy were interred in this tomb during the reign of Pharaoh Horemheb at the end of the 18th Dynasty.

The wall paintings depict funeral processions with mourners, priests, agricultural activities, and scenes from the Book of Gates illustrating afterlife beliefs.

Visitors can access the tomb between 6:00 AM and 4:00 PM during winter months with an entrance fee of 15 Egyptian pounds.

The tomb ceiling presents geometric patterns in color, while a special niche contains a stela showing the barque of Re with adoring baboons.
