The Valley of the Queens

The Valley of the Queens

 (Biban el-Harim or Biban el-Sultanat)
 is the necropolis on the western shore of
Thebes that was used as a burial site for the royal women of the 18th, 19th and 20th Dynasties.
During the Ramesside periods other royal family members also made use of the valley, especially royal princes.
