EGAn Egyptian archaeological mission has uncovered an entire, well-preserved ancient city in the Dakhla Oasis of Egypt's Western Desert, dating back to the Byzantine era. Constructed of mud bricks, the city features a highly organized urban layout with main roads, public squares, fortifications, and residential buildings. Among the notable finds are a grand basilican church from the mid-4th century AD, two distinct residences believed to belong to a church deacon and an early Christian house church, respectively. Artifacts such as pottery, glass vials, clay lamps, ostraca (inscribed pottery shards), and coins—including gold coins from Emperor Constantius II—were recovered, offering insight into the daily lives, economic activities, and religious practices of the city's inhabitants.
