Valley of the Kings, burial site used by Egyptian rulers of the New Kingdom period (1550-1070 bc). It is located on the west bank of the Nile, opposite the modern town of Luxor.

Although only a few kilometers west of the riverbank, the valley is concealed by high cliffs and a long, narrow, and winding entranceway.
