Located in the Fayyum, Egypt, el-Lahun (alt. Illahun, Lahun, or Kahun [the latter being a neologism coined by archaeologist William Matthew Flinders Petrie]) is the workers' village associated with the pyramid of Senusret II (Greek: Sesostris II). It is located near the modern village of al-Lāhūn (Arabic: اللاهون‎), and is often known by that name. Also nearby is the pyramid itself, known as the Pyramid of Lahun.
