Beautiful festival of the valley was an Ancient Egyptian festival, celebrated annually in Thebes, during the Middle Kingdom period and later.

The sacred barques of Amun-Re, his consort Mut and son Khonsu left the temple at Karnak in order to visit the funerary temples of deceased kings on the West Bank and their shrines in the Theban Necropolis.
