Mit Okba or Mit Akaba (Arabic: ميِّت عُّقْبة) is a former village, that was incorporated in the 1950s as two shiakhas (census blocks) in the Agouza district of Giza, Egypt, as the real estate development of Madinat al-Awqaf was built on its fields.
[1] Many of the original houses, and much of the narrow street fabric remains today.
It was found by Uqba bin Amir al-Guhni in 665.
The ancient Coptic Theotokos church (which also could be a monastery) used to be in Mit Okba which Copts called tiMone enAkope (Coptic: ϯⲙⲟⲛⲏ ⲛ̀ⲁⲕⲟⲡⲉ).
