Looking back from the entrance to the tomb of Ay you can see the terrain is quite rugged. This modern, though un-surfaced road, winds for over two kilometres before it reaches the Valley of the Kings and the road back to Luxor.

It is thought that this tomb, which was used for Ay, was in fact intended for Tutankhamen but that it could not be finished within the required seventy days after the boy king's untimely death.
