Introducing Mut
At the centre of the oasis lies the town of Mut, settled since Pharaonic times (Mut was the god Amun’s consort). Although now a modern Egyptian town, it has the most facilities in the area and makes the most convenient base for travellers. Mut’s wide boulevards and the proximity of the palm groves all help to give it some charm, while the remains of the ruined old town show how it must have once looked.
