-'''Nag Hammadi''' is a provincial city in the [[Qena]] Governorate of Upper Egypt. It sits on the West Bank of the Nile just downriver of the Qena Bend, and is notable as the point where the Valley Main Line crosses the Nile, switching from the Western to Eastern bank. The city is quite small, with a population of less than 50,000 people, but is a major regional centre for sugar processing, which is the main crop in Upper Egypt. The town also has a sizeable aluminium smelter and associated industry, along with purpose built housing for the workers.

-Nag Hammadi is also famous world wide for the Nag Hammadi papyrus codices, which contain many ancient gospels about the life of the Son of the God and his disciples, which were removed from later versions of the Bible by the western church of Rome.
