Minya, Egypt
Minya〔Also spelled ''el…'' or ''al…'' ''…Menia, …Minia'' or ''…Menya''.〕 ((アラビア語:المنيا) ) is the capital of Minya Governorate in Upper Egypt. It is located approximately south of Cairo on the western bank of the Nile River, which flows north through the city. The name of the city is derived from its Ancient Egyptian name ''Men'at Khufu'', meaning the nursing city of Khufu, linking it to the Pharaoh Khufu or Cheops, builder of the Great Pyramid at Giza.
The name Minya may also have originated from the city's name in Sahidic Coptic ''Tmoone'' () and in Bohairic ''Thmonē'' (), meaning "the residence", in reference to an early monastery formerly in the area. It is the city where the Codex Tchacos was discovered.
Minya is dubbed by the locals "Bride of Upper Egypt", in reference to its strategic location in Middle Egypt as a vital link between the north and the south of Egypt. Minya has one of the highest concentration of Christian Coptic population in Egypt (approximately 50% of total population).〔''Al-Ahram'', Issue No.43948, 4 April 2007〕 It is the home city of the Minia University, Suzanne Mubarak Center for Arts, the new Minya Museum, and the regional North of Upper Egypt Radio and Television.
