Beni Hassan |
 | | Beni Hassan in itself is a modest little village, but in the limestone cliffs over it, 39 tombs from the Middle Kingdom are located. |
 | | The wall paintings here are most interesting in the respect that they show everyday scenes from the Middle Kingdom, with harvests of wine grapes and papyrus, as well as pleasures of music and dancing. |
 | | There is nothing of hotels and restaurants in Beni Hassan, these things are best done in Minya. |
