This paper describes the archaeological, topographical and geomorphological survey and modelling of the topography of Dra Abu el Naga from prior to the building of the New Kingdom tombs until today. The ancient topography of Dra Abu el Naga has been reconstructed, offering a more accurate and complete image of this part of the necropolis for the study of its organisation, and the distribution and placement of the tombs. This work opens up new lines of investigation into the landscape of the necropolis and this approach could be productively applied to other ancient Egyptian tombs, necropolises and funerary landscapes in general.
