A Hidden village in the heart of the Theban mountains which was the house of the workers and artisans who dug and painted the tombs at the valley of the kings and queens since 1520 BC. Apart from visiting the temples and royal tombs, this village is one of the most important and interesting archaeological sites because of the wealth of information it provided on the daily life of the people who lived there. Unfortunately a small number of tourists make it to that hidden gem. The site offers tombs, a temple and the remains of their houses.

Located on the west side of Luxor.
Opens daily 6a.m – 5 p.m.
It takes about 30-45 minutes to get there by car. A few minutes ride from either the valley of the kings or the valley of the queens.
