Lonely Planet review for Deir al-Medina
About 1km off the road to the Valley of the Queens and up a short, steep paved road is Deir al-Medina, named after a temple that was occupied by early Christian monks. Near the temple is the ruined settlement, the Workmen’s Village. Many of the workers and artists who created the royal tombs lived and were buried here. Some of the small tombs have exquisite reliefs, making it worth a visit.
