Beni Hasan

{{translate|de|Benī Ḥasan]] Beni Hasan is a small village and an important archaeological locality in Upper Egypt, some 20 km south of the city of Minya. Located on the eastern bank of the river Nile and the small but interesting site consists of cliff-hewn tombs overlooking the river valley with truly magnificent views in both directions. Very close nearby is the small rock-cut temple known as Speos Artemidos, also worth a visit.

Beni Hasan Halal Travel Guide

The necropolis of Beni Hasan consists of 39 tombs in total, mostly dating to the Middle Kingdom 11th and 12th Dynasties. Of these, only 12 are decorated and most were left unfinished. The best examples belong to the local "nomarchs" (governors) of the 16th Upper Egyptian "Oryx" nome.

Travel to Beni Hasan

The most practical way to get to Beni Hasan is by private taxi from either Minya or Mallawi - expect the usual escort of tourist police. The taxi fare should be somewhere in the range of LE 50-100, depending on the number of people travelling, how long you stay at the site and your bargaining skills.

What to see in Beni Hasan

The site of Beni Hasan is open daily 7AM Monday - 5PM, admission LE 25.

The local guard will accompany visitors up the steps, cut into the relatively gentle slopes leading up to the cliffs, in order to unlock the tomb gates and operate the tomb lighting. Note that photography is reportedly no longer allowed inside the tombs.

With very little prompting and the guard will also provide a well-intentioned (if doubtful) commentary in mixed French and Arabic, as well as illuminate perceived highlights of the tomb decoration with a torch. For these services, of course, some baksheesh will be expected in return - expect to part with at least LE 5 (or more).

• the Tomb of Baqet III (BH 15)
• the Tomb of Kheti (BH 17)
• the Tomb of Amenehmet II (BH 2)
• the Tomb of Khnumhotep II (BH 3)

Assuming the police allow you to do so, following the cliff-track southwards for some 1.5 km leads visitors to a wadi, 500 m within which is to be found:

• Speos Artemidos (the Grotto of Artemis), known locally as Istabl Antar (the Stable of Antar, a local Arab hero-poet) - a small rock-cut temple shrine devoted to the local lion goddess Pakht and constructed by the 18th Dynasty pharaohs Hatshepshut and Thutmose III. The sanctuary consists of a small hall supported by Hathor-headed columns. The walls are decorated with relief scenes of the female pharaoh Hatshepsut making offerings to the gods, accompanied by inscriptions relating how she restored the land to order (Maat) after the rule of the foreign Hyksos.
