Tombs of the Nobles (Amarna)

</div>

Located in Middle Egypt, the Tombs of the Nobles at Amarna are the burial places of some of the powerful courtiers and persons of the city of Akhetaten.

The tombs are in two groups, cut into the cliffs and bluffs in the east of the dry bay of Akhetaten. There are 25 major tombs, many of them decorated and with their owner's name, some are small and unfinished, others modest and unassuming. Each seems to reflect the personality and patronage of the tomb's original owner.

These tombs are located in two groups in the cliffs overlooking the city of Akhetaten, to the North and East of the city. They are split into two groups by a wadi, and are near one of the Boundary Stelae (Stela V).
