El Kharga Oasis used to be the last but one stop on The Forty Days Road, the infamous slave-trade route between North Africa and the tropical south. Today, it is the biggest New Valley oasis and its modern city houses 60,000 people, including 1,000 Nubians who moved here after the creation of Lake Nasser. The Kharga Oasis must be one of the most beautiful places in the world, especially at sunset; everything you see at this Oasis is natural. Whether you are sleeping under the stars, or just relaxing between the high palm-trees, you will find a feeling of integration with the environment.
It is located 232 kilometers to the South of Asyut, 550 kilometers to the South of Cairo. The Kharga oasis, in the Arabic language, which means the "outside”, is a wide depression that extends over an area of 220 kilometers from north to south and comprises the whole Southern Egypt except for the part that is beside the red sea.
The oasis of Kharga is considered to be a major administrative center and the seat of the governorate of the new valley or Al Wadi Al Gadeed.
The Kharga Oasis was an important transit point for the desert caravans since the period of the 12th dynasty (1786 BC – 1665 BC). This was a transition period in the Egyptian history when the Hyksos had control over Northern Egypt and the Pharos ruled over Southern Egypt and the Nubia.
In August 2010, the Egyptian-American archaeological mission discovered the ruins of the most ancient residential area discovered in Sothern Egypt until now and it goes back to the second intermediate period. These ruins that the mission has found reflect that Al Kharga was a major administrative and services body at that point in history. This mission has found the ruins of some huge buildings, passageways, and a large bread bakery. These ruins go back to the Middle Kingdom (2134-1569 BC) and the scholars believe that this civilization went on until the new Kingdom (1569-1081BC). however, the area really flourished during the 13th dynasty, the second intermediate period (1664-1569 BC), and the 17th dynasty (1600- 1569 BC).
The Kharga Museum in El Kharga:
The Kharga museum not only has displays from pharaonic, Ptolemaic, Roman and the Christian eras, but also considerable information on prehistory, including artifacts. Most of the displays were derived from the Kharga and Dakhla oasis. Museum hours are from 8 AM until 4 PM.
