The Theban Necropolis

Situated on the Western Bank of the River Nile, opposite Luxor, is the Theban Necropolis. Like the Pyramids, it is a testament to the Ancient Egyptians obsession with death and resurrection. There are many funerary monuments here, including:
- The Valley of the Kings
- The Valley of the Queens
- The Tombs of the Nobles
- The Temple of Hatshepsut at Deir el-Beiri
- The Colossi of Memnon
- The Ramesseum
- and others too.
