The other side of the West Bank, for travellers who have seen the Valley of the Kings or want a quieter day. The Tombs of the Nobles are painted with scenes of everyday life — farming, feasting, hunting — rather than royal ritual. Medinet Habu, the mortuary temple of Ramses III, keeps some of the deepest-cut and best-coloured reliefs in Egypt. Deir el-Medina is the village of the craftsmen who built the royal tombs, with their own small, jewel-like tombs.
Tour Highlights
- Everyday-life paintings in the Tombs of the Nobles
