Qift (Egyptian Arabic: قفط[ʔeftˤ]; Coptic: ⲔⲉϥⲧKeft or Kebto; Egyptian Gebtu; Ancient Greek: ΚόπτοςCoptos / Koptos; Roman Justinianopolis) is a city in the Qena Governorate of Egypt about 43 km (27 mi) north of Luxor, situated a little south of latitude 26° north, on the east bank of the Nile. In ancient times its proximity to the Red Sea made it an important trading emporium between India, Punt, Arabia Felix and the North.[2] It was important for nearby gold and quartzite mines in the Eastern Desert, and as a starting point for expeditions to Punt (in modern Somalia).
