The son of his predecessor Intef II and father of his successor Mentuhotep II,[7] Intef III reigned for 8 years over Upper Egypt and extended his domain North against the 10th Dynasty state, perhaps as far north as the 17th nome. He undertook some building activity on Elephantine.[8] Intef III is buried in a large saff tomb at El-Tarif known as Saff el-Barqa.[9]
