Is there more to the West Bank than the Valley of the Kings?
Much more. Medinet Habu, the temple of Ramesses III, has some of the best-preserved painted reliefs in Luxor, and it sees a fraction of the crowds.
What are Deir el-Medina and the Valley of the Queens?
Deir el-Medina is the village of the craftsmen who built the royal tombs, with their own small painted tombs. The Valley of the Queens holds the tombs of royal wives and princes.
Can I see the tomb of Nefertari?
Often, with a separate and costly ticket, but it is not always open. We confirm it with your quote.
