Beni Hasan Travel Guide — Things to Do, Food & Hotels
Village and archaeological site in Middle Egypt
About Beni Hasan
Located on the eastern bank of the river Nile, the small but interesting site consists of cliff-hewn tombs overlooking the river valley with truly magnificent views in both directions. Very close nearby is the small rock-cut temple known asSpeos Artemidos, also worth a visit. The necropolis of Beni Hasan consists of 39 tombs in total, mostly dating to the Middle Kingdom 11th and 12th Dynasties. Of these, only 12 are decorated and most were left unfinished. The best examples belong to the local "nomarchs" (governors) of the 16th Upper Egyptian "Oryx" nome.
