It is located in El-Assasif, part of the Theban Necropolis. Tomb 192 in the Theban necropolis is the largest private tomb known from the 18th Dynasty.
Kheruef's tomb was decorated between the final years of Amenhotep III and the beginning of the reign of Akhenaten although it was never finished. Kheruef's titles "true royal scribe", "steward of the royal palace of the Great Royal Wife" Queen Tiye--the wife of Amenhotep III and mother of Akhenaten. He appears to have been unmarried since nothing is mentioned about his wife or family in his TT192 tomb
