The Valley of the Queens or Wadi el-Melikat is a place in Egypt chosen to bury the wives of the pharaohs. The purpose of this valley is to keep burials secret and thus, as in the Valley of the Kings, to prevent their plunder by treasure hunters. 
In ancient Egypt, the Valley of the Queens was known as Ta-Set-Neferu, which means a place for the children of Pharaoh, because along with the queens of the Eighteenth, Nineteenth and Twentieth Dynasties, many princes and princesses were buried here, as well as a number of other influential figures.
The Valley of the Queens stretches at the southern end of the necropolis of ancient Thebes, and more than 100 tombs carved into the rocks have been found there so far, although local authorities have concealed the location of some as soon as they were discovered. Burials in the Valley of the Queens date back to the eighteenth, nineteenth or twentieth dynasties (1550-1070 BC).
Of all the tombs discovered in the Valley of the Queens, three belong to the sons of Ramses III. The tomb of Haemuaset belongs to his eldest son. It is easily distinguished by its specific hairstyle and can be seen in all the rooms of the tomb depicted now following his father, now alone, offering gifts to the seated ruler of the underworld Osiris.
Next is the tomb of Amunherkhepeshef, who is said to be the titular heir to the throne, who died at the age of 15. On the walls of his tomb is again depicted his father Ramses III, representing his son to the gods and guardians of the afterlife. 
The most impressive is the tomb of Nefertari - wife of Ramses the Great, in which a large complex of polychrome frescoes is beautifully preserved. Due to the striking beauty of the tomb, based on the fact that breathing increases the humidity, which in turn is dangerous for the mortar, the number of visitors is limited and everyone is allowed to sit for no more than 10 minutes.
An employee observes the order in the tomb and does not allow anything to be touched in it and not to exceed the allowed 10 minutes. The tomb of Nefertari, the beloved wife of Pharaoh Ramses III, is an expression of his boundless love for his wife. Each surface inside is decorated with the figures of the queen. 
The characters of Osiris, Anubis, the goddess of hunting Nate, as well as Harsesis and others are not missing. In the burial chamber the ceiling is astronomical - gold stars on a blue background, and its sarcophagus is made of pink granite. 
Not so impressive and beautiful, but still impressive is the tomb of Titi - the wife of a pharaoh of the twentieth dynasty, which is simple but quite richly decorated
