Nestled on the west bank of the Nile River, Deir el-Medina, also known as the Valley of the Artisans, was a thriving community of skilled craftsmen and laborers who built and decorated the tombs of ... the pharaohs in the nearby Valley of the Kings during the New Kingdom period of ancient Egypt. Visitors can explore the remarkably well-preserved remains of this ancient village, including the artisans' homes, workshops, and even the village's own tombs. The best time to visit is during the cooler months of October to April to avoid the scorching heat. Immerse yourself in the local culture and traditions by admiring the intricate artwork and hieroglyphics that adorn the village's structures, offering a glimpse into the daily life and beliefs of the ancient Egyptians.
