What to Expect
Pick-up Service from your hotel

- Abydos, Egyptian Abdju, Coptic Ebot, modern Al-Araba Al-Madfuna, a prominent sacred city and one of the most important archaeological sites of ancient Egypt. Abydos is one of the oldest and most important sites of ancient Egypt, occupied from as early as 3300 BCE. Located on the west bank of the Nile in Upper Egypt, the sacred city overlooks a desert valley once thought to offer passage to the realm of the dead. It was the royal burial ground for Egypt’s first pharaohs and later served as the centre of worship for the cult of Osiris, god of the underworld. With its valuable inscriptions and numerous funerary monuments, Abydos has perhaps contributed more than any other site in Egypt to our present understanding of the history of state formation, linguistic development, and architecture in Ancient Egypt.
