    Less touristed than the more famous Valley of the Kings and Valley of the Queens, are many tombs of the nobles of the New Kingdom (in particular the 18th Dynasty). It is well worth a look to check these out if you have the time to do it.

    The tombs usually consist of two or more chambers cut into the rock which were then painted. The deceased may of been buried in a well which was dug down either in the tomb or in the courtyard in front. The tombs date from the 6th Dynasty to the Graeco-Roman Period, although the vast majority date from the New Kingdom.

    Often referred to as the Valley of the Nobles, this necropolis is not much of a valley. It is located on the lower slopes of the Theban desert hills facing the Nile Valley and is made up of a couple of large areas around the town of Old Gurna. This necropolis was the burial place for high officials and notables during the New Kingdom. Although their number exceeds royal ones (over 400), these tombs are much less elaborate, not only because they were not made for royals, but also the poor quality of the limestone in this area. Most of the tombs are painted with vivid colours and scenes. Many of these tombs are open to the public.
