The Bahariya Oasis consists of many villages, the most prominent of which is Bawiti, which is the largest administrative center and has a population of 30,000 people.
Some information on Bawiti Village in Bahariya Oasis
The governorate of Giza's El Bawiti serves as the capital of the Oasis of Bahariya. Numerous archaeological monuments, including the Valley of the Golden Mummies, the Tombs of Qarat Qasr Selim (Salim), the Tombs of Qarat el-Subi, the Birds Necropolis at Qarat el-Faragi, and the remnants of the Roman temple honoring Herishef, were discovered close to the town. Together with other items and relics discovered in the oasis, the city also houses a tiny museum that houses five gilded Greco-Roman mummies kept in glass cases.
The Historic Aqueducts of Manafis
It's impossible to miss the Manafis, or ruins of the old aqueduct system, when strolling through the alleys of Bawiti. These aqueducts, which spanned three kilometers from Bawiti to the gardens and Ain El-Hubaga spring, were essential to the town's survival since they provided drinking water and supported cultivation. Although they were probably Roman in origin, archeologist Ahmed Fakhry conjectured that they could even be older, perhaps from Dynasty XXVI.
The Legacy of Ahmed Fakhry In 1947, three tombs at Qarat el-Subi were discovered by Fakhry. These graves were uncovered in 1999 as a result of local excavations after being concealed beneath contemporary buildings in Bawiti. Belonged to Ped'ashtar, a high priest, and his family, these tombs provided interesting insights into prehistoric burial practices, such as the clothing worn by Ped'ashtar's granddaughter Ta-Nefert-Bastet in Libyan style.
The Tomb of Djedkhonsu-ef-ankh was discovered in 2000, revealing magnificent artwork and a sizable limestone coffin. Six gold amulets with images of different gods were found within the body, providing a unique window into the era's religious beliefs.
