The Western Desert of Egypt is alive with splendid scenery, agriculture, friendly local folks, and fascinating archeological sites.
Here are the descriptions of two ancient sites near the oasis town of Dakhla: the Egyptian Necropolis of Al Muzwaqa and the Roman Temple Deir el-Hagar
Necropolis of Al Muzwaqa
The Necropolis of Al Muzwaqa translates as “the wonderfully decorated tombs.” They are located north of Mut village near Deir El Hagar. The Necropolis was discovered in 1908 by the American archeologist Herbert Winlock during his excavation missions in the Western Desert of Egypt.
