Minya’s Postal Journey
The Maghagha Post Office, one of the oldest post offices in Minya, began operating on August 1, 1867, as one of 33 offices owned by the Egyptian state. From 1887, letters were carried to and from the office by Nile boats, and later by roving postal routes that used donkeys to reach remote areas. In 1907, a donkey was assigned to the postal service, with 50 piastres a month allocated for its feed. As the railway network expanded, trains became an additional means of transporting letters and parcels. In December 2023, the office was renovated and equipped with modern technology and high-speed internet, bringing together more than a century and a half of history with contemporary postal and financial services.
