The 1st/2nd Century A.D. necropolis of Gebel el-Muzawaka (or Garet el-Mussawaga, the Hill of Paintings), in Dakhleh Oasis, near ancient Amheida, is visually impressive as you drive up to it, and is quite an experience when you get there - not least because of the mummified bodies and scattered bones, including a headless infant, left lying in some of the tombs.
There are two painted tombs at the site dating to the roman area between the first and second centuries AD, constructed for Dakhleh residents Petubastis and Petosiris, which were unfortunately locked when I visited (for their protection), but the remaining tombs, of which there are a great many, are all fully accessible. As with many Western Desert sites, the floor is carpeted with pottery sherds.

There are remarkably few online resources for this site, but it comes under the remit of the Dakhleh Oasis Project and is mentioned on the Dakhleh Trust website.
