Egyptian archaeologists uncovered on Saturday 4 July a remarkably well-preserved Byzantine-era residential city in Egypt’s Dakhla Oasis, offering new insights into daily life in one of the country’s ancient desert settlements. The discovery was announced by the Ministry of Tourism and Antiquities following excavations by an Egyptian archaeological mission at the Ain El-Sabil archaeological site in the New Valley Governorate. According to the ministry, the city dates back to the Byzantine period (330–1453 AD) and was built entirely from mudbrick.
