Beni Hasan

Minya Governorate, Egypt

4.5 (0)

Overview

Village and archaeological site in Middle Egypt. It lies in Egypt's desert belt, best visited between October and April.

Why visit: The Valley of the Kings and the nobles' tombs — painted burial chambers whose colour has survived three thousand years underground.

Things to do

›Check which tombs are open — they rotate to limit humidity damage
›Photography permits are sold separately and enforced
›Pay the extra for Tutankhamun's or Seti I's tomb if either is open
›Go early; the chambers become stifling as the day warms
