Deir el-Gabrawi, Ancient burial site in Asyut Governorate, Egypt
The settlement lies on the east bank of the Nile River, near the city of Manfalut, containing multiple rock-cut tombs from ancient periods.
During the 6th Dynasty of ancient Egypt, the regional governors of the 12th nome established their final resting places in the rock-cut tombs near this location.
The tomb decorations at Deir el-Gabrawi reveal the administrative practices and burial customs of Egyptian regional governors during the Old Kingdom period.
The archaeological site contains numerous rock-cut tombs featuring architectural elements and decorative scenes that researchers continue to study and document.
The tomb scenes of governor Ibi reappear in a Theban tomb of another person with the same name approximately 1600 years later during Psammetichus I reign.
