Workers Village at Deir el Medina
Looking to avoid the crowds at Luxor's more famous spots, we found this site at Deir el Medina, which offers a fascinating glimpse into the living conditions of the artisans and masons who built the famous temples and the tombs. This is one of my favorite sites.

Pharaoh Walkthrough: Mission 26 - Tut in the Valley (Deir El-Medina 2)
The boy king Tutankhamun has died and it's our job to quickly build his tomb to house his remains.
This mission is actually very easy. All you have to do is build Tut's tomb in 7 years and stock it with burial provisions. The town you need to build does not need to be overly fancy, and making money is not the objective of the mission because there is no prosperity rating here. Itjtawy will continually bombard you with requests of Chickpeas and Lettuce so make sure you have a lot of farms in the map.
The problem is that you have to import virtually all the burial provisions and they are extremely expensive. You will have to export whatever you can to keep yourself in the black. Importing barley from Waset and exporting beer to Sawu is a good choice, as is pottery. You have very few trade routes here, but all must be opened to complete the mission.
Try to evolve one housing block to the highest possible: Spacious Apartment. You'll be able to earn a little tax money from doing this. Make sure that when you get to the point of building the tomb that the Artisan's Guild has a supply of Clay: don't do what I did and forget this aspect for a long time, making the ending very tight indeed.
Once the tomb's built, just import the required burial provisions and you should have completed this mission!

Luxor Tour to Habu Temples,Valley of the Worker & Valley of the Queens at the west Bank of the Nile
At 7:00 am Pickup from your Hotel or Nile Cruise in Luxor by Emo Tours Licensed Tour guide then you will be transferred by Private A/C Vehicle to the West Bank of the Nile where you will visit Medinat Habu, it is an archaeological locality situated near the foot of the Theban Hills on the West Bank of the River Nile opposite the modern city of Luxor, Egypt.
Although other structures are located within the area, the location is today associated almost exclusively with the Mortuary Temple of Ramesses III The temple, some 150m long, is of orthodox design, and resembles closely the mortuary temple of Ramesses II (the Ramesseum).
It is quite well preserved and surrounded by a massive mud brick enclosure, which may have been fortified. The original entrance is through a fortified gate-house, known as a migdol (and resembling an Asiatic fortress). The name at least its French form, Rhamesséion – was coined by Jean-François Champollion, who visited the ruins of the site in 1829 and first identified the hieroglyphs making up Ramesses's names and titles on the walls.
It was originally called the House of millions of years of Usermaatra-setepenra that unites with Thebes-the-city in the domain of Amon.
Also you will be able to visit some other temples inside Habu Temple Such as Temple of Amun dating to the 18th Dynasty, built by Queen Hatshepsut and Thutmose III. It has undergone many alterations and modifications over the years, partially in the 20th, 25th, 26th, 29th and 30th Dynasties and the Greco-Roman period.
Then Continue your day Tour to Deir el Medina, known as The Valley of the worker, Deir el-Medina is an ancient Egyptian village which was home to the artisans who worked on the tombs in the Valley of the Kings during the 18th to 20th dynasties of the New Kingdom period (ca. 1550–1080 BC) The paintings appear so fresh.
End your day Tour with a visit to Valley of the Queens it's is a place where wives of Pharaohs were buried in ancient times. In ancient times, it was known as Ta-Set-Neferu, meaning –the place of the Children of the Pharaoh, because along with the Queens of the 18th, 19th and 20th dynasties (1550–1070 BCE) many princes and princesses were also buried with various members of the nobility.
The tombs of these individuals were maintained by mortuary priests who performed daily rituals and provided offerings and prayers for the deceased nobility. The valley is located near the better known Valley of the Kings, on the west bank of the Nile across from Thebes (modernLuxor). This barren area in the western hills was chosen due to its relative isolation and proximity to the capital.
The kings of the 18th dynasty, instead of building pyramids as traditional burial chambers (perhaps because of their vulnerability to tomb robbers), now chose to be interred in rock-cut tombs to Preserve it as possible as they can from tomb robbers

Valley Of The Workers
Did you know...The all-powerful, wealthy Theban Pharaohs showed off their prowess by building elaborate monuments in the history of Luxor, many of which remain today in the Theban Necropolis.
All of this craftsmanship meant that large teams of workers were needed. These labourer's resided within the Artisan Village (Deir el-Medina)...

Archaeological Paths' Egypt Tour - 09.27.2016 - Day 11: LUXOR
In the morning the interested guests could enjoy a balloon flight and see the temples from a bird’s eye view and take the most stunning photographs. Next, we drove to Medinet Habu temple, the best preserved and largest temple on the West bank of the Nile, with beautiful colors and hieroglyphics on the walls and ceilings.
We continued to one of the most recognizable temples in Egypt – the Hatshepsut temple. We learned more about Queen Hatshepsut, a Pharaoh known as one of the greatest rulers of Ancient Egypt. We enjoyed the possibility available only for Archaeological Paths’ guests to enter the tomb of the legendary Egyptian architect, Senenmut. That was some adventure!
We visited Deir el-Medina, the ancient village of the artisans who worked on the construction of famous tombs in the Valleys of the Kings and Queens.
Today the guests of Archaeological Paths – thanks to special arrangements with the Ministry of Antiquities– had the rare opportunity to visit the most exquisite tomb in the Valley of the Queens – Nefertari’s tomb. The paintings of extraordinary quality recount the events from the Queen’s life and the story of her journey to the afterlife and express the love of Ramses II for his wife.

Deir Al-Medina ruins / käsityöläisten kylän rauniot, Egypt
Deir el-Medina is an ancient Egyptian village which was home to the artisans who built the temples and tombs ordered by the Pharaohs and other dignitaries in the Valley of the Kings during the New Kingdom period (18th to 20th dynasties).
Deir-el Medina on Thebassa (nyk. Luxor), Niilin läntisellä rannalla sijaitseva paikka, jonka muinainen egyptinkielinen nimi oli Set-Maat, 'totuuden paikka'. Siellä sijaitsee muinaisegyptiläinen rauniokylä, joka tunnetaan nykyään Deir-el Medinan työläiskylänä. Se on merkittävä arkeologinen löytö, koska siellä on säilynyt tavallisten muinaisten egyptiläisten asuintaloja, mikä on hyvin harvinaista. Deir-el Medinan työläiskylää tutkimalla on voitu selvittää muinaisten egyptiläisten arkisesta elämästä paljon sellaista, mikä ei selviä temppeleitä ja kalliohautoja tutkimalla. Deir-el Medinasta työläiskylästä on löydetty kaikkiaan noin 120 perheen asunnot. Deir-el Medinan perheet asuivat keskimäärin 75 neliömetrin kokoisissa tasakattoisissa rivitaloissa. Taloissa oli tavallisesti kolme peräkkäistä huonetta, joista keskimmäinen oli suurin. Keskimmäistä huonetta käytettiin olohuoneena ja sen kattoa kannatteli yksi pylväs. Takimmaista huonetta käytettiin keittiönä ja ruokasalina, ja siellä oli katolle johtavat portaat. Deir-el Medinan asukkaat rakensivat työkseen faraoiden hautoja Kuninkaiden ja Kuningatarten laaksoissa. Yllättävän monet työläiskylän asukkaat olivat luku- ja kirjoitustaitoisia. Luku- ja kirjoitustaitoa tarvittiin, sillä haudanrakentajien tuli osata kaivertaa maagisia tekstejä hautojen seinille. Deir-el Medinan työläiskylä perustettiin n. 1500-luvulla eaa., ja se hylättiin äkillisesti 1000-luvulla eaa., uuden valtakunnan lopussa. Deir-el Medinan työläiskylästä on löydetty paljon papyruksille ja savisirpaleille hieraattisella kirjoituksella tuherrettuja viestejä, joissa kylän asukkaat kertovat kuulumisistaan, ongelmistaan, iloistaan ja suruistaan. Näiden todistuskappaleiden avulla on voitu rekonstruoida hyvin tarkka kuva arkielämästä muinaisessa Egyptissä. (Wikipedia)
Pharaoh Walkthrough: Mission 25 - Thutmose in the Valley (Deir El-Medina 1) [2/2]
Thutmose in the Valley is the first of four missions in Deir El-Medina, the location for the famous Valley of the Kings. This mission requires us only to build the town and the Small Burial Tomb that Thutmose wishes, with no time restrictions.
The first thing you'll want to do is find the obvious exports of the mission. In this case, the exports are pretty plentiful. You can export beer, linen, luxury goods, paint and lamps. While there is a tiny patch of reeds in the level, they cannot be harvested so papyrus can only be imported and it will be needed to fuel a large economy hub here. Flax can be grown in the region so make sure to overproduce it (it can also be exported if you have too much of it, every little bit helps they say :P). The key to turning a profit in this mission (along with every other mission that is) is to deliberately overproduce commodities. Overproducing something means that if there's a chance the flood will be poor or fail entirely, there's still a large amount of that material to hold the workshops over, meaning you'll still earn money. As you will notice in this mission, I deliberately built many more Chickpea, Henna and Flax farms than I actually needed, but it's a good habit to get into.
This mission is a true peaceful mission as there is no military at all. In fact, to make that point known, the military button is greyed out, which means you will not need to worry about troop requests or anything military based. That will help in many ways and allows you to actually concentrate on creating an economical city.
Keep the bulk of your city next to the flood plain. Don't bother building anything meaningful on the east bank, other than a Ferry Landing to get over to the west bank and additional docks. Many of your trading partners are trading by sea so it's very likely bottlenecks will occur and additional docks will be of use in solving it somewhat. The arid landscape means much of the city needs to be near the flood plain so your houses will probably have many undesirable buildings near them, which can't be helped.
Make sure you do not block the small strip of land on the west bank, as this is the ONLY way for anyone to get from the entry spawn to your city. If it is blocked, your city will grind to a complete halt. Keep that area open at all times unless you want your city to crash and burn. xD
Now that the backbone of the city has been created, we can now work on building the Small Royal Burial Tomb. This part covers developing a secondary encampment near the tiny pond of water next to the cliffs for the Artisans and Lamp Makers. After it has been built, the part covers the remainder of the mission to fulfil the rating requirements and getting the grave goods. To support all of this, the main area next to the flood plain is given all the services required to push the houses to Fancy Residence, the highest housing that gives you workers. Whenever building cities, try to avoid obtaining scribe level as it can decimate your city if you do not have enough unemployment.
The evolving portrait of Deir el-Medina by Dr Cedric Gobeil, 10th February 2017
The Egypt Exploration Society would like to thank the Institute of Archaeology, UCL for hosting the lecture and Braun Arts for providing their filming services for the event.
Lecture abstract:
Work has been ongoing on at Deir el-Medina for nearly a century. Over the years, an exceptional amount of discoveries have been made, both archaeological as well as epigraphic, covering practically all aspects of daily life in New Kingdom Egypt. The site has delivered so many documents that many remain unpublished or under studied. For that reason, one might think this site has nothing more to offer or, at least, just a few residual shreds. The recent fieldwork, restarted under the impulse of a renewed team, has proven that this idea is far from true. It confirms that this site still has rich potential in addition to the data already collected by B. Bruyere previously.
Thanks to the ongoing efforts made by the team, directed by Dr Cedric Gobeil, working on up-to-date scientific issues according to modern archaeological standards and with the help of new technologies, we were able to reinvigorate the on-site work as well as the mission's objectives in order to give new insights on some aspects of Deir el-Medina, which were until now poorly known or simply unknown. These aspects call for multidisciplinary approaches and methodologies and thus give a good overview of what is yet to be done on the site.
While giving an update on the latest discoveries made by the French mission, this presentation will demonstrate the promising leads that our current or future projects will explore in the years to come.

King Tut’s mystery coffin show to the public for the first time
Restoration works on Pharaoh Tutankhamun's golden coffin are underway at Giza's new Grand Egyptian Museum, as shown in footage from Saturday, with officials reporting that they are expected to last seven to nine months.
Authorities explained that the timeframe was due to the fragile condition of the coffin, which has been in a state of conservation since it was discovered in King Tut's tomb in 1922.
At the same time, employees of Cairo's National Museum of Egyptian Civilization (NMEC) began similar restoration work on the coffins of ancient artisan Sennedjem and his wife.
All three coffins will be displayed at a major exhibition in the Grand Egyptian Museum at the end of 2020, alongside many other artefacts.
