West Bank of the Nile

The West Bank of the Nile refers to the area located on the western side of the Nile River in Egypt. It is known for its rich historical significance, as it includes ancient sites like the Valley of the Kings, where pharaohs were buried, and Luxor, home to impressive temples. The region is characterized by its desert landscape, agricultural areas, and small towns. In a broader sense, the term “West Bank” can also refer to a politically distinct region in the Middle East, but here it specifically pertains to the Egyptian territory adjacent to the Nile.
