The Mountain of the Dead is Siwa’s largest funerary site. It contains more than two thousand graves, cut in the rock of the mountain. Althoug almost all of them have been plundered and destroyed over time, but four of them still show a slight glimpse of what this site might have been; Si Amun, Meso-Isis, Niper Pathoth, Tomb of the Crocodile. 

Burials continued into this cementary until the late Roman era, and with all certanity were discontinued when Islam made its way into the oasis. 

Climbing to the top of the mountain, will offer some of the most beautiful panoramic sceneces.
