Beni Hasan, Rock-cut tombs in Minya Governorate, Egypt.

The necropolis contains 39 rock-cut tombs in the upper cemetery and 800 shaft tombs in the lower cemetery along limestone cliffs.

Senior officials from the Oryx nome established their burial chambers at this location during the Middle Kingdom period between 2055 and 1795 BC.

The tomb walls display detailed paintings of agriculture, hunting, games, and foreign visitors, providing insights into ancient Egyptian daily activities.

Entry tickets cost 200 Egyptian pounds for foreign adults and 20 Egyptian pounds for local visitors, with the site opening daily from 8 AM.

The recurring names of Baqet, Khety, and Khnumhotep on different tombs indicate generational connections between the buried officials.
