      ab: This article provides a detailed visitor’s guide to Amarna, the ancient city of Akhetaten founded by Pharaoh Akhenaten and Queen Nefertiti around 1347 BC in Middle Egypt. It describes the site’s key areas, including the North City with its palaces and worker dwellings, the North Tombs of high officials featuring unique Aten cult iconography, and the Royal Tomb complex in the Royal Wadi, where unfinished royal burials were located. The guide draws on recent scholarship and fieldwork led by Professor Barry Kemp and highlights practical information for independent visitors, such as access routes, ticketing, and local arrangements. The article also notes the historical significance of Amarna’s distinctive religious and funerary practices, as well as later Christian monastic occupation of some tombs.
