Cemetery of the royal wives and sons of some of the New Kingdom pharaohs, located on the west bank at Thebes, just northwest of Medinet Habu, Egypt. Late 17th and early 18th Dynasty royal families are buried there; most of the 18th Dynasty rulers' wives were buried with their husbands in the Valley of the Kings. The 19th and 20th Dynasty royal wives and offspring were then buried in the Valley of the Queens. There are about 75 tombs at the site.
