El Kharga Oasis, Egypt

The Kharga oasis is the largest of the oases in the Western Desert, covering an area of ​​200 km of flat wild valley. It is located in the southernmost part of Egypt, and its areas are used mainly for the development of projects to combat the desert, which seriously affects its painting. Nevertheless, the most interesting archeological finds are in the Kharga oasis, and the dunes around it give it an incredible look.
The capital of the Kharga oasis is Al-Kharga, which plays the role of the administrative center of the province of New Valley. The exciting place in this city is the Archaeological Museum, which has opened its doors to show a collection of artifacts found on site. One of the few surviving monuments is the temple of Hibis from the VI century BC, which is dedicated to the trinity of Thebes - Amon-Ra, Mut and Khonsu. The necropolis holds 263 tombs, some of which are well-preserved, mostly from the Old Testament. On the opposite side of this temple are the ruins of the temple-fortress An-Nudara, built by order of Antoninus Pius.
To the north is the exclusive necropolis of El Bagawat - proof that oases are key places on ancient trade routes. Several hundred Christian tombs from the IV-VI century have been completed. Behind the necropolis, on a rock in the Kharga oasis, are the ruins of Deir al-Kashefi. This is an early Christian monastery built at the crossroads of important trade routes.
