One thing that always struck me is the painting, like it was painted yesterday, still so vivid.

Indeed, over 3,000 years and still amazing. I hope you did get a chance to visit Nefertari's tomb; it is closed now due to damage (breathing from visitors), and it may be a while before it reopens.

It is necessary, though, to keep this amazing treasure intact for millennia to come.

I didn't get to see Nefertari's tomb, but completely understand they would want to preserve it. I did witness tourists being disrespectful. I went to Valley of the King's and inside King Tuts tomb, which has vivid paintwork too. Also Luxor museum, temple, Hatshepsut mortuary temple, Karnak, Colossi of Memnon. I loved Egypt and must go back.

I've been many times, and there's always something new to discover. I did, too, witness disrespectful tourists, unfortunately... To me, the most interesting site in Luxor is Deir el-Medina, the village of the workers.
