Info
The necropolis of El-Tarif (Arabic: إلطارف aṭ-Ṭārif) is located on the West Bank of the Nile at Thebes, Egypt. It is located to the northwest of Luxor and southeast of the Valley of the Kings, opposite Karnak, just to the southwest of the modern village of At-Tarif. It is the oldest of West Thebes' necropolises. It is a small mortuary temple, and the farthest north of the Tombs of the Nobles, and contains tombs of the late First Intermediate Period, Second Intermediate Period and early Middle Kingdom. Old Kingdom mastabas are possibly attributed to local rulers of the Fourth or Fifth Dynasty. Eleventh Dynasty (2040-1991 B.C.E.) tombs of local rulers have also been noted in the form of a series of pyramids dated to 2061-2010 B.C.E, the largest of which are Intef I to Intef III, who were kings of this dynasty.
