The Town of Bawiti

Description

Bawiti is by far the largest village in the Bahariya Oasis with some 30,000 inhabitants.  The town center is modern, while outside the center are mud-brick houses.  Recently, the town has received considerable press due to the find of a huge (possibly the largest) necropolis of mommies from the Greco-Roman era.
