Kom el-Hisn ("Hill of the Fort" in arabic), (ancient Yamu) is located near the western edge of the Nile delta roughly midway between Cairo and Alexandria and about 10 km west of the Rosetta branch of the Nile. The site is surrounded by cultivated land and in modern times a village has been built over a portion of the site.

Several excavations have revealed occupation during the Old Kingdom and has deposits containing evidence for some substantial domestic structures. The location was also occupied during the New Kingdom.
