Luxor West Bank as a referral to the kingdom of death houses the tombs of the kings and queens and all things associated with the death, that it is why you will find in the west bank of the Nile River Valley of the Kings and Valley of the Queens to allow the kings to start his afterlife journey from the west to the east in order to be resurrected.

Queen Hatshepsut also decided to build her cult temple for God Amen in Luxor West Bank which resembled a unique style of architect because it consisted of elevated terraces. In the same western bank used to lies down the mortuary temple of King Amenhotep III but unfortunately it is almost in ruins and only the colossi of Memnon still exists.
