Our Reflections Tour Guide will pick you up from Gamandy House then you will be transferred by Private A/C Vehicle to start explore Deir el-Medina was unlike most villages in Ancient Egypt as it was a planned community. Amenhotep I (c.1541-1520 BCE) founded Deir el-Medina with the specific purpose of housing workers who would work on royal tombs. This was because tomb desecration and robbery had become a dangerous concern during his time. The royalty of Egypt decided not to advertise their final resting places with large monuments but instead chose a less accessible area in tombs cut into the cliff walls. These areas became known as the Valley of the Kings and the Valley of the Queens. The people who lived in the village were known as (Servants in the Place of Truth) and played an important role in creating eternal homes. They also had the responsibility of remaining discreet regarding tomb contents and locations.After you have enjoyed this interesting visit you will be transferred back to Gamandy House
