    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.
