El-Karma Sheikh Zayed Egypt is a small village located on the west bank of the Nile in the Asyut Governorate, Egypt. It is one of the few ancient Egyptian sites that have survived with its original architecture intact.

The village was founded in the Middle Kingdom period (2000-1200 BCE) by a man named Kahayet El-Karma Sheikh Zayed. He was given the task of erecting a tomb for the faculty of medicine of the Royal University at Memphis. The original structure contained a chapel of offerings and a hypostyle hall.

The main attraction of El-Karma Sheikh Zayed is its ancient grave site. The tomb is made of mud brick and has been decorated with finely painted reliefs that feature a variety of animals, plants and gods from ancient Egypt. The chamber contains a wooden sarcophagus and the walls are covered with inscriptions about Kahayet El-Karma Sheikh Zayed and his life.

The tomb is an important archaeological site and attracts visitors from all over the world. It is believed to be the resting place of many of Egypt’s ancient rulers and provides insight into the culture, daily life and beliefs of the people of ancient Egypt. Today, El-Karma Sheikh Zayed is still an active part of the community, providing services to the local people, such as providing a school and helping to build houses.
