Minya is the capital of Minya Governorate in Upper Egypt. It is located approximately 245 km (152 miles) south of Cairo on the western bank of the Nile River, which flows north through the city. The name of the city is derived from its Ancient Egyptian name Men'at Khufu meaning the nursing city of Khufu, linking it to the Pharoah Khufu or Cheops, founder of the Great Pyramid at Giza. The name Minya may also have originated from the city's name in Sahidic Coptic Tmoone, meaning 'the residence', in reference to an early monastery formerly in the area. It is the city where the Codex Tchacos was discovered. Minya is dubbed by the locals 'Bride of Upper Egypt', in reference to its strategic location in Middle Egypt as a vital link between the north and the south of Egypt. Minya has one of the highest concentration of Christian Coptic population in Egypt ... more on Wikipedia.The text is available under the Creative Commons Attribution-ShareAlike License; additional terms may apply.
