   - We enjoyed the visit so much
   Points of Interest & Landmarks
   
   
   We visited Tuna el-Gebel and Hermopolis with a taxi from Mallawi. The price for this trip was 150 EP and it was really worth. Entry fee for Tuna el-Gebel was 30 EP. The location was very interesting because is was actually surrended by sand dunes. We were the only tourists when we were there. See more..

   This museum is fairly new, adjacent to the old ferry at Amarna. The items from ancient Khmunu (Ashmunein) are well presented and there is a replica of a house that you can wander through. See more..
   
5. 4.0 El Ashmunein (6 reviews)
   - Interesting
   Spent < 1 hour Ancient Ruins • Monuments & Statues
   
   
   Stopping first at the town of Malawi the area known as Hermopolis, we visited the statues of Thoth, the God of all knowledge and patron of scribes, before moving a little further to El Ashmuein to view the remains of the Coptic basilica, built upon the site of a pharonic temple. There was an eerie feel about the place in the haze, and surrounded by security with balaclavas and machine guns. The poor shepherds with their sheep were herded away from the tourists! The security measures seem way over the top and I’m still not sure whether it reassures or scares the pants off tourists. See more..
   
6. 3.5 Fraser Tombs (6 reviews)
   - Quite an interesting site if you are into Ancient Egypt
   Ancient Ruins
   
   
   These rock-cut mastabas are distinctly unusual in appearance - most mastabas are built of stone or mud brick. The interiors contain a number of interesting and unusual scenes, including an enumeration of the monthly phyle (time-share) priesthood set up to service the cult of the tomb owner, and in another tomb a contract whereby the owner delegates his authority to his son. The landscape is also impressive - clearly there was a powerful landslide after a huge earthquake at some point long ago, and the cliff is littered with absolutely enormous boulders that clearly tumbled down as a result.
