Ancient Egyptian workmen’s village and home to the tombs of the artisans that worked on the Royal tombs. Significant as it showed daily Egyptian life. Beautiful artwork on the walls and ceilings. Some stairways narrow and it does get hot below.

Anche questo è un bellissimo posto da vedere, un esempio che musulmani e cristiani (cofti) potevano vivere insieme. Per gli appassionati della storia dell’antico Egitto un posto veramente da vedere

Don't pass on visiting here! Our tour guide gave us this as an option and we decided yes. The best choice ever! It was one of my fa orite places to visit. He suggested it and noted it was one of his fa irises. A true gem as its beautifully preserved and full of color. It's where many common people lived and shows how 'normal' Egyptians once lived. That was amazing to see how close the homes were, literally atta he'd to one another like boxes assembled for a fort. The in and out of the buried tombs could be a bit challenging for some to enter. A lot of ducking and bending is necessary to scale through. I'm tall and did not have a problem but my friend found it difficult ult and claustrophobic; to me, well worth it. Don't let that stop you! The most magnificent preserved colors in all of ancient Egyptian relics.

3 petites tombes à visiter. La vue sur la ville est originale. Les ouvriers et artistes travaillaient dur et passaient toute leur vie dans cette ville pour ne pas dévoiler les secrets des tombeaux sur lequels ils travaillaient

Chyba najlepiej zachowane polichromie ze starożytnego Egiptu to grobowce szefów robotników przy wiosce robotników, rzemieślników. Mówi się że groby i piramidy budowali niewolnicy a to błędne postawienie sprawy ,bo mało tego że ludzie pracujący dla faraona robili to dobrze to jeszcze robili to z własnego wyboru i byli za to uczciwie wynagradzani .Wiedzieli również co to STRAJK ;)
