About Ţahţā
Tahta (Arabic: طهطا / IPA: [ˈtˤɑhtˤɑ], ALA-LC: Ṭahṭā; Ancient Greek: Τοετω; Coptic: ⲧϩⲟⲧⲏ, Coptic pronunciation: [dəˈhodæ]) is a city in the Sohag Governorate of Upper Egypt. It is located on the west bank of the Nile in an area known for its agricultural richness. Tahta had a population of 85,528 at the 2017 census. Egyptologists believe that the modern name may derive from the word Ta-ho-ty (Ancient Egyptian: Tȝ-ḥw.t-Ty).
