Mallawi

Mallawi is a city in Egypt, located in the governorate of Minya, with the Nile as its eastern border and Dirotiah Lake at its western boundary. Its name is derived from Coptic and literally means the place of textile. The city contains many ancient Egyptian artifacts, and the Mallawi Museum, which features artifacts excavated in the vicinity, is located in it. Situated in a farm area, the city produces textiles and handicrafts. The Koppen-Geiger climate classification system classifies its climate as hot desert (BWh), as is the case with the rest of Egypt. The Monastery of Saint Fana is listed among related places, and the Coptic Orthodox Diocese of Mallawi has its own page.
