Bani Hassan Agriculture 6119EG07JHP Modern Egypt Bani Hasan View River Nile Farming Activity High View Green Fields at the start of the steep climb to the tombs leaving behind the rich agricultural flood plain that borders the Nile. Thirty nine tombs along the face of a bluff above the River Nile some 20km south of Minya make Bani Hasan a special visiting place for its decorations along the themes of wrestling, battle scenes and the collection of taxes by the nomarchs of the Oryx Nome give some beautiful tomb paintings to view - unfortunately photography was absolutely refused when I visited.

Modern Egypt Bani Hasan View River Nile Farming Activity High

View Green Fields at the start of the steep climb to the tombs leaving behind the rich agricultural flood plain that borders the Nile. Thirty nine tombs along the face of a bluff above the River Nile some 20km south of Minya make Bani Hasan a special visiting place for its decorations along the themes of wrestling, battle scenes and the collection of taxes by the nomarchs of the Oryx Nome give some beautiful tomb paintings to view - unfortunately photography was absolutely refused when I visited.
