Western Bank
The Western Bank in Luxor is the western part of the river that contains many important archaeological sites. The Western Bar is famous for being the site of a number of temples and royal tombs dating back to Pharaonic times, including the Valley of the Kings, which includes the tombs of pharaohs such as Tutankhamun's tomb, as well as the Valley of the Queens, where many queens and princesses were buried. The western mainland also contains important temples such as the Deir el-Bahri temple, which was built to honor Queen Hatshepsut. This area is one of the most important tourist attractions in Luxor, and is a focal point for understanding the history of ancient Egypt.
