The West Bank of Luxor is a true archaeological paradise full of must-see sights for any visitor. There are a number of ancient Egyptian pharaoh tombs, necropolises and temples here, dating from the time of the ancient city of Thebes. Take my walking tour to see all the best sights in the area such as
The Mortuary Temple of Seti I is the memorial temple of the pharaoh of the same name. the construction of the temple was begun towards the end of the reign of Seti and may have been completed after his death by his son, Ramesses the Great. One of the chambers was originally a shrine dedicated to Seti's father, Remesses I, who ruled for just two years and did not have a mortuary temple of his own.
The Abd el-Qurna Necropolis is the most visited site of its kind in the area. It contains a large concentration of more than 150 private tombs of Egyptian dynasties. The most significant tombs in Abd el-Qurna Necropolis are the ones of Rekhmire, Ramose, Nakht and Sennefer |
