Tahta (Arabic:طهطا /IPA:[ˈtˤɑhtˤɑ],ALA-LC:Ṭahṭā;Ancient Greek:Τοετω;[4]Coptic:ⲧϩⲟⲧⲏ,Coptic pronunciation:[dəˈhodæ]) is a city in theSohag Governorate ofUpper Egypt. It is located on the west bank of theNile in an area known for its agricultural richness. Tahta had a population of 85,528 in the 2017 census.[5]Egyptologists believe that the modern name may derive from the wordTa-ho-ty (Ancient Egyptian:Tȝ-ḥw.t-Ty).[2][3] Two famous monasteries are located near Tahta, theWhite Monastery and theRed Monastery. The town has a small but significantCoptic Catholic community.[6]

Its most famous resident was the reformist intellectualRifa'a al-Tahtawi, who was born in Tahta in 1801, and who wrote and translated many books following his trip to Paris in 1826 as theimam and chaplain for the first group of Egyptians whomMehmet Ali Pasha (Muhammad Ali Pasha) sent to study in western Europe.
