In a small canyon leading to the Valley of the Queens are the ruins of a small city. This city was reserved for the artisans, who built these fantastic tombs. The work they did was secret and here they were isolated from the rest of the population for the rest of their lives.

Some of the artisan built tombs for themselves. The tomb of Sennodjen is probably the most beautiful of these tombs.The tomb is rather small,but is wonderfully painted and should not be missed.
