    Deir el-Munira is an ancient Roman settlement located in Kharga oasis, Egypt. The settlement consists of a mighty fortress and a clay brick temple. It was probably built during the reign of the Roman emperor Diocletian (284-305 AD) or his successors. Due to its size, the fortress was certainly served as a garrison.
    The site is one of the elements included in the UNESCO Tentative List for World Heritage designation, Kharga Oasis and the Small Southern Oases.
