Akhenaton's ancient city served as the administrative center during his reign. Tel El Amarna was built in 1363 BC when Akhenaton consolidated the multiple deities into a single god and mandated that the entire country worship Aten, the sun god. Consequently, he relocated the capital from Thebes to the newly established city of Amarna.
Beni Hassan is an ancient burial complex that dates back to the Middle Kingdom of Egypt. It served as a cemetery for several governors of El Minya, and the site contains 39 authentic tombs that attract numerous visitors from around the globe.
