Valley of the Kings in Western Thebes

by Kuznetsov_Sergey - last update: Dec 12, 2007

Valley of the Kings
The most of VTs put their tips and pics about the valley of Kings on Luxor page. It's correct but only partly. The VT database has the separate destination with the name "Necropolis of Thebes". I offer my tips and pics about the Valley of Kings here.

The Necropolis of Thebes is for sure a highlight of Luxor. There are in fact two connected valleys, of which the eastern is the more important. A total of 62 tombs have been given an official number, and there are at least three unnumbered tombs. Not all the numbered tombs belong to kings, some of them were constructed for members of the royal family.
