This largest Roman funerary complex in Egypt dates from the 2nd century AD. A winding staircase leads to an underground rotunda encircled by sarcophagi. Next to it is the banqueting hall where relatives of the deceased saw him out with a feast. At the level below is the central tomb chamber, decorated in a blend of classical and Egyptian styles. Inside stand dog headed Anubis and crocodile headed Sobek, both dressed as Roman centurions.Entrance Fees: (Please see at the bottom of this page)
