Images of Deir el-Medina:
past & present
Deir el-Medina is one of the best preserved ancient settlements in all of Egypt. It lies in a small secluded valley in the shadow of the Theban hills on the west bank of the Nile, opposite modern-day Luxor in Upper Egypt.
The site is unique for the unparalleled wealth of archaeological, artistic and textual evidence that has survived and from which we can reconstruct many aspects of the daily lives of its ancient inhabitants.
This website serves as a comprehensive resource, offering a glimpse into the past and present of this fascinating archaeological site. Our collection of photographs, taken during our visits to Egypt and various museums housing artefacts from Deir el-Medina, provides a visual narrative to complement the historical accounts. Through these images we aim to transport you to this ancient settlement and immerse you in its rich history.
