The northeast slope of the hill of Sheikh abd el-Qurna, top of the hill. From left to right: the tombs of Rây, Senenmut, Aanen, Ahmose, and MMA 850.
The white building above the tomb of Rây is the modern Muslim prayer shrine of the sheikh for whom this area is named. Fall 1998.

The northeastern slope of Gebel Sheikh abd el-Qurna from the east: the tombs of Rây, Senenmut, and Ahmose are clearly marked. Tomb MMA 850 below Ahmose is not included.
This telephoto view of the tombs is from the mortuary temple of Thutmose III on the Theban plain below the hill. Winter 1996.
