Valley of the Queens
The Valley of the Queens is where the mummies of the most beautiful and powerful queens are buried, as well as important members of the royal family are buried, it is located on the Theban necropolis of Luxor near the Valley of the Kings under the name of “TA-set-Neferu” (The place of beauty) during the new kingdom of Egypt (1570-1050 BC).
Just like the Valley of the Kings, it has an unimpressive exterior design so as not to attract the intention of looters and tomb raiders, it contains over 75 tombs from the 18th, 19th, 20th Dynasties.
These tombs were not as extravagant or massive as the king’s tombs, but the beautiful nature of the decorations remained at the highest level. The tomb of Queen Nefertari is the most famous as she was the main wife of King Ramses II and her tomb contained beautiful works of art and decorations showcasing her with different deities like Hathor, Isis and Amon.

The whole temple complex was designed as a copy of a Syrian fortress of Migdol which was surrounded by a gigantic fortified perimeter wall with a single gate at the entrance is known as the pavilion gate. In addition, it holds a canal with a port outside the entrance connecting the temple to the Nile.
