Kom Medinet Gurab

2mi/3km southwest of El-Lahun is the Kom Medinet Gurab, with the remains of a settlement dating from the late 18th and 19th Dynasties. It is still possible to identify dwelling houses, two temples (one of them built by Tuthmosis III) and the necropolis. Much of the material found here referred to the reign of Amenophis III and his wife Tiy, suggesting that the town flourished particularly during his reign.
