Valley of the Queens Luxor

Valley of the Queens

One of the most attractive famous sightseeing in Egypt lies on the west side of Luxor, on the west bank of the Nile there is the Valley of the Queens. It was an ancient tomb where the queens, princesses, and high born women of the new kingdom were buried in 19th and 20th dynasties. Although the valley of the queens is less popularity than the valley of kings, the tombs provide bright paintings and detailed writings that explain the significance of this sight. The most famous tomb in the valley belongs to the favorite wife of the pharaoh Ramses II that called queen Nefertari. Sometimes described as the Sistine Chapel of Ancient Egypt her tomb is a dazzling display of exquisitely preserved art that has kept its original hue thousands of years later. The walls are illustrated with portions of Book of the Dead, heavenly gods and goddesses, the day-to-day life at the royal court and one can get a glimpse of ancient belief and rituals.
