Bani Hassan EG076142jhp Beni Hasan ancient Egypt desert village ruins ghostly petrified sand steps cliff cliff-face offering 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 inside the tombs was absolutely refused when I visited. It is fairly steep climb to the tombs but is on a properly constituted path with well spread out steps as some of the photographs show and offers some fantastic views of the River Nile bending its way through a rich green fertile area of fields and farming.
