Tebtunis in the Fayoum (Umm el-Baragat)
Return to the Tour Egypt document on Tebtunis in the Fayoum (Umm el-Baragat)
An ancient city, Tebtunis is one of the ruins in the Fayoum, and the home to a once grand temple dedicated to Soknebtunis, a local form of the crocodile god, Sobek, who became a well known deity of several Fayoum locals.

This entire site was wonderful! My wife and I visited Egypt in December 2006, Tel Basta to Luxor, but did not get to the Fayoum. Your illustrations and stories make it seem like we were there!
