The village where I was born, raised and educated. The place where my childhood was, and where I would like to be buried

Al Makhzan is a small village, located on the highway to the famous city, Luxor. It’s about half an hour north of Luxor.

Population of Al Makhzan

The population of Al Makhzan is around 60,000

Most of them work on farming, especially growing sugar cane and wheat.

The total area of my village is about 25 square Km.

The whole area is good for farming and we don’t have any desert land because we are close to the Nile and its branches.

All the people of the village are muslims(100%).

• Most of the population work on farming, although 10% work in the governmental sector and as teachers.

There are around 12 mosques in the village
