The Gebel al-Mawta looks great from a distance, but it is even
more impressive up close. The name means simply Mountain of the Dead, and it is the place where
Siwans for over 2000 years buried their loved ones. The mountain holds a couple of truly great
graves, full of wall-paintings equally beautiful to the noble tombs of Luxor or Aswan.
