Al-Bahansa is famous for its ancient cemeteries and hills, and for the births of saints and martyrs, and many developments and changes came to it throughout the historical ages. The city of Al-Bahansa was of an important position in the Islamic era, as evidenced by many existing and vanished monuments. It was also an important commercial center located on the path leading to the Bahariya Oasis. The ancient tombs of Al-Bahansa include many domes and shrines of the Companions, followers and scholars, who came to it and cited it during the Islamic conquest of Egypt, as the city's garrison strongly resisted the Muslim army during its conquest, which led to the martyrdom of a large number of Muslims. Among the ancient domes in it are the dome of the Seven Girls, the dome of Ubadah ibn al-Samit and the dome of Muhammad ibn Abi Dhar al-Ghafari.
