Qubbet el-Hawa is a site of a group of Rock-cut tombs known as the Princes's Tomb on the west side of the Nile, opposite Aswan.
Ancient Egyptian site[edit]
The Princes's Tombs date mainly from the Old Kingdom which provide important details of the lives of officials at this time — including the tomb of Harkhuf. There are a few later tombs, from the Middle Kingdom and New Kingdom.
Coptic site[edit]
The hill is also the site of a Coptic monastery and some of the tombs were reused as a Coptic church.
