Egypt says it uncovered lost Byzantine-era residential city in western desert

Egypt has announced the discovery of a well-preserved Byzantine-era residential city in the western desert, specifically in the Dakhla Oasis. This find, made by the Egyptian government, includes features such as north-south and east-west streets, open squares, public spaces, a basilica church, and defensive structures. The site provides insight into daily life, urban planning, and economic activities during the fourth century when Egypt was under the Byzantine Empire. Alongside this, 18 ancient tombs were discovered at the nearby Marina el-Alamein archaeological site. These findings aim to support Egypt's tourism industry, which relies heavily on antiquities and historical sites.
