Valley of the Queens का इतिहास

The Valley of the Queens served as a burial ground for the wives and children of Ramesside pharaohs and, earlier, for Eighteenth Dynasty princes. Its name in ancient Egyptian, Ta-Set-Neferu, is translated as the Place of Beauty or the Place of the Royal Children, since many of the tombs hold princes and princesses rather than queens.

The Italian archaeologist Ernesto Schiaparelli pioneered excavations here in the early 1900s and found the Tomb of Nefertari (QV66), the queen of Ramesses II, in 1904. Her tomb has some of the best-preserved painted walls in Egypt, and the Getty Conservation Institute led its conservation. Visitor access to QV66 has been capped at 15 minutes per group with air-circulation controls. Other tombs of note include Amunherkhepshef (QV55), Khaemwaset (QV44) and Titi (QV52), from the Ramesside period. The valley forms part of the Ancient Thebes World Heritage Site inscribed by UNESCO in 1979.

Valley of the Queens के नियम व शिष्टाचार

Valley of the Queens visitors may not touch the painted walls, and tomb guards watch each chamber. The rule for the Tomb of Nefertari, when open, is strict: entry is by timed groups of limited size, typically 15 minutes, and photography is normally prohibited there. Confirm the current rule at the ticket office.

Valley of the Queens tomb attendants sometimes offer to switch on lights or point out details and then expect a tip of EGP 20-50; a firm refusal is acceptable. Drones are banned. Keep your ticket for each tomb, and wear closed shoes because the steps and floor are dusty and slippery. Payment at the ticket office is by card, and cash is best kept for tips and drinks. Bring water because the valley floor has almost no shade.

Valley of the Queens जाने के लिए टिप्स

1
Valley of the Queens is best seen early and quickly, since the open tombs are small and can be finished in about an hour. Check the ticket office notice for which tombs are open that day; the base ticket admits a rotating selection, with Amunherkhepshef (QV55), Khaemwaset (QV44) and Titi (QV52) the ones normally named.
2
Valley of the Queens is worth adding only if you have a full west-bank day, since its tombs are smaller and less richly decorated than the Valley of the Kings. Do not pay the EGP 2,500 Nefertari supplement without first confirming at the ticket window that the tomb is open; one Luxor source reports it closed since 2 March 2024. Buy a cold drink before you go, and combine the stop with Medinet Habu, a short drive east toward the Nile road, and with the Deir el-Medina workmen's village. Agree the driver's waiting-time fare before you set off.
