- Tuna el-Gebel - Tuna el-Gebel (Arabic: تونة الجبل, Coptic: ⲑⲱⲛⲓ) served as the necropolis for Khmun (Hermopolis Magna). It is the largest known Greco-Roman necropolis in Egypt, dating from the New Kingdom to the Roman Period, with significant use during the Ptolemaic Period. Located in the Al Minya Governorate in Middle Egypt, Tuna el-Gebel was primarily the burial site for the ancient city of Hermopolis, now known as El Ashmonien. This site has become an important archaeological location visited by many tourists. Hermopolis and Tuna el-Gebel were central to the worship of Thoth, the ancient Egyptian god of wisdom, venerated since the predynastic period. It served as the necropolis for the fifteenth province of Egypt.
- Tombs Of Beni Hassan - Beni Hasan (also spelled Bani Hasan or Beni-Hassan) (Arabic: بني حسن) is an ancient Egyptian cemetery located about 20 kilometers (12 miles) south of modern-day Minya in Middle Egypt, the area between Asyut and Memphis. While there are some Old Kingdom burials at the site, it was primarily used during the Middle Kingdom, spanning the 21st to 17th centuries BCE (Middle Bronze Age). To the south of the cemetery is a temple built by Hatshepsut and Thutmose III, dedicated to the local goddess Pakhet. Known as the Cave of Artemis, the Greeks identified Pakhet with Artemis, and the temple is subterranean. These tombs date back to the Middle Kingdom and were used as the burial place for many local governors of the El Minya region during the 11th dynasty.
- Tell el-Amarna - Amarna (/əˈmɑːrnə/; Arabic: العمارنة, romanized: al-ʿAmārna) is a vast Egyptian archaeological site containing the remains of what was once the capital city of the late Eighteenth Dynasty. Established in 1346 BC by Pharaoh Akhenaten, the city was abandoned shortly after his death in 1332 BC. The ancient Egyptians called the city Akhetaten or Akhetaton, meaning “the horizon of the Aten.” The site is located on the east bank of the Nile River in the modern Egyptian province of Minya, about 58 km (36 miles) south of the city of al-Minya, 312 km (194 miles) south of Cairo, and 402 km (250 miles) north of Luxor (the site of the previous capital, Thebes). The city of Deir Mawas lies directly to its west, and on the east side of Amarna, there are several modern villages, the chief of which are l-Till in the north and el-Hagg Qandil in the south.
