The chief place in the eastern part of the oasis is the little town of Balat, which has the remains of a Temple of Mut dating from the New Kingdom, mastabas of the Sixth Dynasty and the First Intermediate Period and tombs of the Graeco-Roman period. In this area, too, traces of Neolithic settlement have been found.
