Beni Hassan

Our first stop in Middle Egypt was Beni Hassan. The military and regional rulers chose to be buried here to assert their independence rather than to be buried near their kings in Saqqara. The most impressive tombs of the Middle Kingdom are here.


Walking up the steps to the tombs









It was a long walk to the top



River Nile is behind us







39 tombs have been discovered here but only 4 are open the public
