🧿 Beni Hasan

Beni Hasan is an ancient Egyptian funerary site cut into the limestone cliffs that form the eastern edge of the Nile Valley. It lies in Middle Egypt, on the east bank of the Nile about 20 kilometers (12 mi) south of Minya. Its monumental tombs were excavated north of the modern village, approximately halfway up the cliff and overlooking the valley.
