Kom ed-Dahab Located in the marshes and undisturbed areas of the lake, in steady decline for more than fifty years, Kom ed-Dahab – the Golden Hill – is very isolated and accessible only by boat. For the first time, in September 2015, an expedition of the Oriental Institute – joined by the Egypt Exploration Society Delta Survey – reached this site and conducted the first archaeological explo-ration of this terra incognita in order to confirm on the ground the result of remote sensing. According to the preliminary studies of the satellite images, the site of Kom ed-Dahab appeared to be an early Roman town probably established in Menzaleh Lake at the very beginning of the Roman domination over Egypt, circa the first century
