Qena

Japanese: ケナー(英語表記)Qena
Qena
It is the capital of the same-named province in Egypt, with a population of 141,000 (1992). Its Arabic name is Qinā. It is located on the right bank of the Nile in Upper Egypt, and was called Shabt in ancient times. It flourished as a commercial transit city, as it is at the exit of the Wadi Hammarat, which connected the Red Sea and the Nile. During the Islamic period, it prospered even more with the construction of hospitals and mosques. It is home to one of the two great mosques of Sufi saints in Upper Egypt, along with the Abu al-Hajjaj Mosque in Luxor.
