El Minya City In Egypt
El Minya
Currently home to nearly six million Egyptians, Minya Governorate is in many ways the geographical and historical heart of Egypt, located along the Nile River 230 kilometers outside of Cairo. It was the capital of Egypt nearly 700 years ago when Akhenaten and the beautiful Queen Nefertiti made their home in the famous Malwa worship center in the village of Tell el-Amarna.
As a site of excellence from the time of the Pharaohs and Romans to the Abbasid era, Minya offers visitors plenty of adventures to explore. You'll find ancient architecture and one of the original Greek squares (the agora).
and the remains of a temple built by Ramses II, as well as stunning temples and the Church of the Virgin Mary.
Some other tourist sites, such as Mallawi Museum, which was established on June 23, 1962, in Minya during the era of the late President Gamal Abdel Nasser, include antiquities that represent different eras.
The Tell el-Amarna archaeological area is located 15 kilometers northeast of the city of Dermuas, which is the area chosen by Akhenaten and his wife Nefertiti to establish the capital of his kingdom.
and some ancient monasteries, such as Al-Barsha Monastery, Abu Fana Monastery, and the Monastery of the Virgin Mary, and some mosques as well,
such as
Al-Amrawi Mosque and Al-Lamta Mosque in Minya, which date back to the Fatimid era, Al-Wadaa Mosque, the oldest mosque in Minya, and Sheikh Obada bin Al-Samet Mosque, the first mosque in Malawi (it has two minarets from the Ayyubid and Ottoman eras).
Pharaonic tombs have been discovered, such as the tomb of Maho, one of the best-preserved tombs in good condition, and its wall paintings provide us with exciting details of Maho's work and duties as chief of police during the reign of Akhenaten.
Roman tombs have also been discovered, such as the tomb of Petosiris, which dates back to the Ptolemaic era and is both a tomb and a chapel (or small temple). Petosiris was the high priest of the god Thoth.
