Ramses built the most beautiful tomb for his favorite and beloved wife Nefertari whose name means 'the most beautiful'. Nefertari’s tomb, her “house of eternity” is now closed to the general public, due to the damage that our breath & humidity causes to the wonderful paintings, which show Nefetari's journey after death to the afterlife, guided by various guardian-spirits and deities, including Isis, Hathor, and Osiris.
Nefertari can be seen embracing the side of Ramses leg as he sits on his throne of two lands outside Luxor tempel, and he also created for her a small temple beside his own magnificent temple at Abu Simbel, this temple was dedicated to the goddess Hathor and Nefertari, and once inside I sense a wonderful feeling of love and energy when I have visited this temple with my groups. Only pharoahs that truely loved their wives gave them such honours, the only other pharoah to honour his wife in this way was Akhenaten who dedicated a temple to Nefertiti his wife whose name means 'the beautiful one has come'
