点评:This area contains the tombs of craftsmen who created the Royal Tombs in the valley of the Kings. These are painted rather than carved and while some repeat imagery seen in Royal Tombs, there are many references to everyday life. The tombs are noteworthy because the colours remain so vivid and remain in good condition.
The area is walkable from the central ticket office where you purchase tickets. It takes about 25 minutes. They can only be purchased at the central ticket office not at the site itself although you can buy them online and there is a QR code that can be used where tickets are checked.
Currently there are three tombs open with the standard ticket, all located within a short distance from each other. TT1 Sennedjem, TT359 Inherkhau and a triple tomb with one entrance TT218 Amennakht, TT219 Nebenmaat and TT220 Khaemterii. You can buy an extra ticket for Pashedu at the ticket office for 120 which is worth the modest extra cost, probably the best of all the workers tombs currently open. With this tomb, you will be taken up the hill by a guard who has the keys to the tomb (about a five minute walk).
All the other tombs are worth a visit although the third tomb in the triple access entrance, Khaemterii is perhaps less well preserved. The styles all look quite different but the imagery is every bit as good as in the Valley of the Kings.
One thing not to miss before leaving is to walk beyond the actual workers village to the Temple of El Medina. This 2nd century BC temple was later converted to a Coptic monastery. From the outside, it looks a ruin, but it is very well preserved inside with three outstanding chambers full of carvings and colour including the central chamber dedicated to Hathor. In terms of small intimate chambers, it was better than anything we saw at Karnak the previous day.

从中央售票处步行即可到达该区域,大约需要25分钟。门票只能在中央售票处购买,现场无法购买,但您可以在线购票,购票时可以使用二维码。
目前,持普通门票即可参观三座陵墓,它们彼此距离很近。这三座陵墓分别是:TT1 Sennedjem、TT359 Inherkhau,以及一座只有一个入口的三联陵墓:TT218 Amennakht、TT219 Nebenmaat 和 TT220 Khaemterii。您可以在售票处额外购买一张帕舍杜陵墓的门票,价格为120欧元,这笔额外的花费物有所值,它可能是目前开放的所有工人陵墓中最好的一座。参观这座陵墓时,会有一位持有陵墓钥匙的守卫带您上山(步行大约五分钟)。
其他所有陵墓都值得一游,尽管位于三入口处的第三座陵墓——卡姆特里陵墓——保存状况可能稍逊一筹。所有陵墓的风格各不相同,但其图像精美程度丝毫不逊于帝王谷的陵墓。
离开之前,千万不要错过参观工人村之外的麦地那神庙。这座公元前2世纪的神庙后来被改建为科普特修道院。从外面看,它像是一座废墟,但内部保存得非常完好,拥有三个精美绝伦的房间,里面布满了雕刻和色彩,其中包括献给哈索尔女神的中央房间。就小型私密房间而言,它比我们前一天在卡纳克神庙看到的任何房间都要出色。
