El Minya City

El-Minya
El-Minya Map

Minya  pronounced [elmenjæ]) is the capital of the governorate of Minya in Upper Egypt. It is approximately 245 kilometers (152 miles) south of Cairo, on the west bank of the Nile River, which flows north through the city. The name of the town derives its name from ancient Egypt Menat Khufu, ie nursing city Khufu, the pharaoh Khufu or linking to Khufu, the builder of the Great Pyramid of Giza.

Minya name may also have their origin in the name of the city in Coptic Sahidic Tmoone  and Bohairic Thmonē, which means "residence" in reference to a monastery above principles in the area. It is the city where the Codex Tchacos was discovered.

Minya is nicknamed by local "Bride of Upper Egypt," referring to its strategic location in Middle Egypt as a vital link between northern and southern Egypt. Minya has one of the highest concentrations of Coptic Christians in Egypt (approximately 50% of the total population). [1] It is the hometown of the University of Minia, Suzanne Mubarak Center for the Arts, the new Museum of Minya, and the regional Northern Upper
El-Minya City

El Menia is famous for its agricultural products, representing 5.4% of Egypt's total agricultural production.
It is also a commercial and administrative center on the west bank of the Nile.
The government gins cotton and flour mills, a sugar refinery, and the carpet and carpet weaving industry. Today little is known about Minya governorate compared to its many important archaeological sites. Its remarkable history, including ancient, Hellenistic, Roman and Egyptian Arabic, has not received the attention of researchers.
