Located near the Nile city of Luxor, the tomb is the resting place of Userhat, a judge from the New Kingdom.
Excavations are on going, but a collection of ancient relics, including figurines, masks and a handle of a sarcophagus lid, have already been unearthed.
Tourism in Egypt has suffered in the aftermath of the country’s recent political instability, but it is hoped that the finds will have a positive effect on the sector.
