This paper aimed at designing a transportation model of Cemetery En Echelon, a nobel cemetery in the Giza plateau. Roads in ancient Egypt were classified to 2 types: 1) those designed and paved by the state, and 2) the paths naturally made by the regular movement of humans and animals. Transportation networks were modelled in ArcGis using network datasets. The study has concluded that the accessibility of tombs declined as the cemetery grew with a large number of tombs not being accessible gradually. Thus, funerary service must have been disconnected for those tombs. However, the large Mastabas, 26 in number, remained accessible till the end of site’s history.
