Where artifact from the whole of Wadi Gedid's Ancient Egyptian, Christian and Islamic periods are exhibited. The Amon Temple in Hibis is one of the only two temples known built during Persian rule of Egypt, 26th Dynasty. The inscriptions on the later built Roman gate give very important understanding about Roman imperial rule in Egypt. After Christianity came to Egypt with St. Mark the Evangelist, the Christian community was in periods under hard prosecutions from Roman rule with thousand and thousand of martyrs. Many fled to the desert for protection. Kharga was one of these places and the result of this is that we in Bagawat got one of the oldest and best-preserved Christian cemeteries in the world. On top of a hill close to Hibis lies the Roman temple-fortress Nadura, a typical lookout as the English House visited in Baharia, apart from the fact that Nadura was built nearly two thousand years earlier.
