Wadi el-Hudi
Wadi el-Hudi is a desert valley south-east of Aswan in Egypt and was the main source of amethyst in the Middle Kingdom. Expeditions from the Eleventh Dynasty onwards built camps and fortified settlements there and left many inscriptions recording their work. It is one of the best-documented ancient Egyptian mining areas.
