El-Bawiti (Arabic: الباويطي, al-Bāwīṭī, from ) is a town in the Western desert in Egypt. With 15,978 inhabitants, it is the largest settlement in the Bahariya Oasis.
==The tombs of Qarat Qasr Salim hill== On a low ridge overlooking El-Bawiti are a pair of nicely decorated underground tombs of the 26th Dynasty, a high time in Bahariya Oasis. The tombs, belonging to the wealthy local merchants Zed-Amun-ef-Ankh and his son Banentiu, have an inner court with 4 columns and up to 7 side chambers.
