About this room

A room shaped by an Egyptian discovery

The Egyptian Bedroom takes its name from the 5th Earl of Carnarvon, whose excavations in the Valley of the Kings with Howard Carter led to the discovery of Tutankhamun’s tomb in 1922. The room has kept its Egyptian character ever since.

It is not open to visitors on a public tour of the Castle. This 360° film lets Friends stand in the middle of the room and look wherever they like, at the ceiling, behind the door, out of the window across the park.
