Hawara

Hawara is an ancient Egyptian archaeological site located near modern-day Cairo. It was a prominent city during Egypt’s Middle Kingdom and is especially famous for the Pyramid of Amenemhat III, a well-preserved step pyramid used as a royal tomb. The site also features extensive burial complexes, temples, and a labyrinth of tunnels known as the Hawara Labyrinth, which was used for ceremonial and funerary purposes. Hawara provides valuable insights into Egypt’s political, religious, and architectural history, reflecting the grandeur and complexity of Middle Kingdom civilization.
