At the heart of the desert, on the left bank of the Nile, opposite Luxor, between the Valley of the Kings and the Valley of the Queens, lie the ruins of a village unique of its kind: what was once the dwelling place of the artists and craftsmen who, from Thutmosis I to Ramses XI, between 1500 and 1000 BC, built and decorated the tombs of the pharaohs and their entourage.
This exceptional site, now called Deir el-Medina, gives readers a glimpse into the private lives of these lesser-known Egyptians.
