Tel Al Amarna

It’s the ancient city of Akhenaton, which was the ruling centre during his reign. Tel El Amarna was constructed in 1363 BC when Akhenaton unified the multi gods into one god and ordered all the country to worship Aten, the god of the sun. As a result, he moved the capital from Thebes to the new city of Amarna. Then move to visit:

Beni Hassan Tombs

It’s an ancient complex for burial tombs that was established during the reign of the Middle Kingdom of Egypt. Beni Hassan was used as a grave spot for some of El Minya’s governors, and 39 genuine tombs were discovered at the site, which many visitors from all over the world came to witness.
