Tucked away in the less touristy places of Egypt are the tombs of Beni Hassan. These are not the tombs of kings and queens that you find in most tour places, these are the tombs of nobles. Smaller but with many of the tomb paintings familiar in the 18th-19th Dynasties.
There are a LOT of steps to get up to the tombs ... BUT it is well worth it when you are there!

The tomb paintings are of everyday activities done by the nobles, which gives you glimpses of the lives of normal Ancient Egyptians
The painting above is one of the most famous ones of Semites (Hebrews?) coming to trade with the nobles of Beni Hassan.
You really have to see this! You really have to Tour Egypt With Me!
