This catalogue of the tombs of the Valley of the Queens is the first in a series on the photographic documentation of the tombs kept at the Center for the Study and Documentation of Ancient Egypt (CEDAE), an organ of the Ministry of Antiquities. It includes twenty-one decorated tombs of the Valley of the Queens as well as Deir al-Rumi, a small Copto-Byzantine monastery whose ruins are visible at the entrance to the main wadi of the Valley of the Queens. The entry for each tomb gives the identity of its owner, their qualities, exclusively those inscribed on the walls of their burial, the dating and location of the tomb in the necropolis, and a bibliography.
