In actual history, a city called Hamunaptra (City of the Dead Man) was found in India in the 1850s when British engineers, trying to build a railroad, pillaged the area for bricks. In the 1920s, archaeologists began serious excavations. They found at the site a lost civilization occupying an area greater than that of Pakistan. It was a complex, literate, urbanized, centrally located society. Raw materials located in the area indicated that the civilization had long-distance trade with Mesopotamia. The civilization ended between 1900 and 1700 BC, which archaeologists accredit to a new group of horse-riding invaders. However, there is no evidence to prove any hypothesis of why the civilization might have become extinct

No, Hamunaptra is not a real Egyptian city. It is a fictional city featured in the movie "The Mummy" and its sequels. The city is portrayed as a mythical ancient Egyptian city that is the resting place of Imhotep, a high priest cursed for attempting to resurrect his forbidden lover.
