Bahariya Oasis, Cairo

The Bahariya Oasis is located 300 km southwest of Cairo. In 1999, a stage of turning it into a sensation began, as archaeologists stumbled upon more than 200 mummies, some with golden masks, in four tombs, all from the Greco-Roman era. 
The Bahariya oasis was located on the road taken by the soldiers of Alexander the Great. It is believed that there must be a giant necropolis with 10,000 dead, a real record in Egyptology. 
The Bahariya oasis has taken over small villages, the central settlement being Bauti. During the Greco-Roman era, Bahariya was famous as one of the greenest places in Egypt, sending wheat and wine to the Nile Valley.
A huge necropolis with rich burials testifies to the population of the oasis up to half a million. Ten of the mummies are on display at the Sharq al Mathaf Museum. In general, it can be argued that the Bahariya oasis has a rich collection of historical landmarks. 
Temple of Amun-Ra and Alexander the Great, the ancient burial tunnels of Karat al-Fireki or the so-called The ridges of the bird traders are part of the oasis's riches. The Ethnographic Museum offers a collection of life-size figures of the oasis's inhabitants.
Those who choose to travel to the Bahariya oasis usually head to the hot springs, most of which are unsuitable for bathing. But Bir al-Gaba is an exception and the pleasure of his visit is enhanced by the tempting location in a eucalyptus grove. 
In conclusion, it is worth mentioning the Roman fort near Baharia, which symbolizes the centuries of foreign rule, which radically changed the life of the Egyptians.
