The tomb of Queen Meresankh III in the eastern necropolis at Giza is the finest and most extensive of the few tombs open to visitors at the site (there are hundreds but only three are accessible currently). The tomb consists of two main chambers divided by pillars with a remarkable row of figures of the Queen and here family in high relief on the end wall. Another chamber with four similar carved female figures leads to a stairwell from which a lower (but featureless) crypt can be accessed. The tomb requires a separate ticket bought at the entrance to the site but as it seems to get few visitors will likely require a local guardian to unlock it.
