Valley of the Kings is a time-worn valley in Egypt where, for a period of nearly 500 years from the 16th to 11th century BC, tombs were constructed for the pharaohs and powerful nobles of the New Kingdom.
The Tombs of the Nobles are located on the west bank of the Nile, opposite Luxor.
The Valley of the Queens is a site in Egypt where wives of Pharaohs were buried in ancient times.
