Explore Abydos Temple

Your journey begins bright and early at 3:00 AM, with a comfortable, air-conditioned vehicle picking you up from your hotel in Marsa Alam. As you travel through the mesmerizing desert landscapes and lush stretches of the Nile Valley, you’ll be treated to breathtaking views of Egypt’s natural beauty.

 

After approximately a 4-hour drive, you’ll arrive in Sohag City, where you will meet your knowledgeable and passionate Egyptologist guide. The highlight of the day is a visit to the Temple of Abydos, a site known for its grandeur and spiritual importance.

 

This magnificent temple, built by Pharaoh Seti I in the 13th century BCE, is considered one of the finest examples of ancient Egyptian art and architecture. The Abydos King’s List, located in the temple, is one of the most significant reliefs in Egypt. It is a chronological record of Egypt’s pharaohs, inscribed during Seti I’s reign, and is invaluable for understanding the history of ancient Egypt.

 

One of the most intriguing features of Abydos is the Osireion, an ancient underground structure believed to be the burial place of Osiris, the god of the afterlife. The Osireion, which some scholars believe is a symbolic tomb, features a grand hall and a series of beautifully preserved columns that invoke the spirit of the afterlife and Egyptian religious beliefs.

 

You will spend approximately two hours exploring the temple and surrounding sites, immersing yourself in the rich history and spirituality that permeates this sacred ground. After your exploration, enjoy a relaxing and delicious lunch at a local Egyptian restaurant, where you can sample a variety of traditional Egyptian dishes, giving you a taste of local flavors and culinary delights.

 

After lunch, you will begin your return journey to Marsa Alam. You’ll depart from Abydos by around 2:00 PM, ensuring that you reach your hotel by 9:00 PM, giving you ample time to unwind after an enriching and exciting day of discovery.

 

This thoughtfully crafted tour combines the ancient history of Egypt, cultural insights, and comfortable travel, ensuring that your day is stress-free and enjoyable. From the moment you are picked up to the time you return to your hotel, every detail has been carefully planned to create a memorable experience for you.
