The Valley of the Queens (Biban el-Harim or Biban el-Sultanat) is the necropolis on the western shore of

Thebes that was used as a burial site for the royal women of the 18th, 19th and 20th Dynasties.

During the Ramesside periods other royal family members also made use of the valley, especially royal princes.
