Here’s our list of the top attractions things to do on Luxor’s West Bank.
This is where the wives of the Pharaohs were buried. It was known as Ta-Set-Neferu, meaning – “the place of the children of the Pharaoh”, because along with the Queens of the Pharaohs, many princes and princesses were also buried with various members of the nobility.
The reason for choosing the Valley of the Queens as a burial site is not known. The close proximity to the workers’ village of Deir el-Medina and the Valley of the Kings may have been a factor. Another consideration could have been the existence of a sacred grotto dedicated to Hathor at the entrance of the Valley. This grotto may have been associated with rejuvenation of the dead
Within the foothills of the Valley of the Kings lies the Valley of the Nobles containing the tombs of governors, viziers and priests. These tombs are shallower and have not survived so well, but despite this you can see some amazing carvings and paintings.
One of the most important tombs in this cemetery is tomb 55, which belonged to Ra-Mose. He was the mayor of Thebes during the end of the reign of Amenhotep III (Amenophis III) and his son Akhenaton, the vizier. Unfortunately, this tomb is unfinished because Ra-Mose moved, with Akhenaton, to the new capital Akht-Aton (modern-day Tell El-Amarna), therefore the decoration work stopped, and the tomb was left unfinished, except for the scenes which already had been completed. Because of this, we can appreciate the high techniques that Egyptian art had during that period, but we can’t see the final product.
A large area of mortuary temples and tombs located on the West Bank built in order to aid the resurrection after death of the great Pharaohs of the time. Possibly the most famous is the Temple of Hatshepsut which has a huge ramp rising up almost one hundred feet to the impressive pillared gallaries. One historian called it one of the “incomparable monuments of ancient Egypt.
In Roman times one of the statues was believed to emit a singing or whistling sound at dawn and such was its’ fame that several Roman Emperor’s visited Luxor to see the Colossi with the hope that hearing the legendary whistle would bring them good luck.
Deir el-Medina is an Egyptian village dating back to the second millenium BC which was home to the artisans who worked on the tombs in the Valley of the Kings during the period of the New Kingdom. The excavations led by Bernard Bruyere in the 1920s resulted in one of the most thoroughly documented accounts of community life in the ancient world providing a fascinating insight into daily life including medical knowledge, the legal system, the religious cults, literature and commerce of the period
Take one of the traditional Nile sail boats and relax with magnificent backdrop of Luxor’s temples and the surrounding countryside and mountains.
The mortuary temple of the Egyptian pharaoh Ramesses II who died in 1212BC. Work on the construction of the temple took 20 years and you can still see the remains of what was once the tallest free standing statue in the world at about 25 metres before an earthquake brought it down. Among the impressive surviving columns of the temple you can see some fascinating carved scenes depicting some of the military victories of one of Egypt’s greatest Pharaohs.
And don’t forget some Shopping!
There are a large number of small shops selling
souvenirs, papyrus art and also the essential items of everyday life. Whether here or back on the East side your guide might be able to help you negotiate a discount.
