| Abstract | ||||
| The cemetery of Qubbetel-Hawa is one of the provincial necropolises, which is distinguished by an exceptional artistic style. Although there are some existing literatures, which cover different subjects about Qubbet El-Hawa tombs, but there are some remaining questions about the reasons behind the unique architectural elements that appeared in Qubbet El-Hawa and the reasons why the tombs’ exceptional artistic style was varied from one to another, in addition to what differentiates Qubbet El-Hawa from the other private tombs in Egypt. This article explores the reasons for choosing Qubbet El-Hawa to be a burial site during Old, Middle, and New Kingdoms. This work highlights the significance of studying Qubbet El-Hawa artistic style and how this gives us information about the political and cultural policies in Qubbet El-Hawa. Additionally, this study aims to examine some unique elements in the construction program in Qubbetel-Hawa tombs that gave each tomb a distinctive character such as: the variations in size and shape of the tomb plan, the arrangement of figures, and using ramps in front of tomb entrances, etc | ||||
