The **Valley of the Queens**, located near the Valley of the Kings on Luxor’s West Bank, served as the burial site for queens, princesses, and other members of the royal family during the New Kingdom period (1550–1070 BCE). Known as *Ta-Set-Neferu* (The Place of Beauty), this necropolis includes over 90 tombs, many of which are exquisitely decorated with vivid wall paintings depicting scenes from Egyptian mythology, the afterlife, and the lives of the royal family.

The highlight of the valley, this tomb is one of the most beautifully decorated in all of Egypt. Dedicated to Queen Nefertari, the beloved wife of Ramses II, its vibrant murals depict her journey through the afterlife, guided by gods like Osiris, Isis, and Anubis. The preservation and artistry of this tomb are unparalleled, making it a must-visit (note: a separate ticket is required).
– **Tomb of Tyti (QV52)**: Likely belonging to a royal wife or princess, it features colorful depictions of gods and symbols of protection.
– **Tomb of Amunherkhepshef (QV55)**: A tomb for one of Ramses III’s sons, showcasing touching depictions of the boy prince and his father, as well as protective scenes of deities.
The valley’s tombs are smaller than those in the Valley of the Kings but often better preserved, offering an intimate glimpse into the lives of the royal family and the artistic and spiritual traditions of ancient Egypt.
