Tombs of the Nobles, Aswan Overview
Also known as Qubbet el-Hawa, the Tombs of the Nobles is an ancient Egyptian necropolis on the western bank of the Nile, adjacent to Aswan. Providing an insight into the burial practices of Upper Egyptian Nome 1, these tombs date back to the Old Kingdom. Most tombs of this period are inaccessible. Only six are open to the public.
Even though significant discoveries were made in 2014 and 2017, the tombs continue to be excavated. In the Princes' cemetery, the majority of the tombs have a straightforward design with an entrance hall, a room with pillars, and a corridor descending to the burial chamber. Roughly cut from natural rocks, many tombs are interlinked as family members kept adding their sections.
