Description
Tour Guide will take you to the Tombs of the Nobles, which may be less famous, but include much better-preserved examples of tomb paintings. Luxor West Bank site contains around 400 tombs of various dignitaries, which date roughly from the 6th dynasty right up to the Ptolemaic era. tomb paintings here aren't so concerned with guiding the dead into the afterlife; instead, they showcase scenes from Egyptian daily life. In particular, the Tomb of Sennofer, Tomb of Rekhmire, Tomb of Khonsu, Tomb of Benia, Tomb of Menna, and Tomb of Nakht are home to some of Egypt's most vivid and lively tomb paintings.
If you're short of time, we recommend seeing the Tomb of Sennofer (Sennofer was an overseer during the reign of Amenhotep II) and Tomb of Rekhmire (Rekhmire was the pharaoh's vizier.) Both Tombs have incredibly detailed paintings depicting scenes from the men's daily lives, work, and family life.
From There to another site which is Deir El-Medina small valley inhabited by the workers, craftsmen, and others who lived there and their job was to construct and decorate the tombs on the West Bank at Luxor. The artisans who lived in this community built their tombs only a few dozen meters from their town on the heights that overlook the village. you can go inside the opened tombs to see the stunting colorful scenes including Sennedjem, Inerkhau Pashedu Nakhtamen, Nebenmaat, and Nakhtamen. They were all artists during the Ramesside period and were well known for their work on the West Bank. They paid considerable attention to their tombs and the arrangement of their necropolis. wishe you a very enjoyable day tour.
