Located on the west bank of Luxor near the Valley of the Kings, the Valley of the Queens is where the wives of the pharaohs were buried in ancient times, as well as princes, princesses and various members of the nobility. The tomb of Nefertari, Ramses II favourite wife, is the most famous attraction. The tomb is considered one of the most beautiful in Egypt: it is completely painted with scenes showing Nefertari in the company of gods. About 1 km from the road leading to the Valley of the Queens is Deir El-Medina. Although the name means ‘monastery of the city’, it refers to a Ptolemaic temple dedicated to Hathor, but later inhabited by early Christian monks.
Near the temple are the ruins of the Village of the Workers, an ancient city that was home to the workers and artists who created the tombs of the valleys of kings and queens and where they were buried. Some of the workers’ tombs are beautiful works of art that are truly worth a visit.
