What to Expect

Pick-up Service from your hotel

  • You will be picked up by your Landious Travel representative from your hotel and taken to Abydos in an air-conditioned deluxe vehicle.
  • 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.

    During our recent trip to Egypt, my friend and I arranged two tours with Landious Travel to visit Abydos Dendera and Sakkara. Not only did they provide transportation to and from the airport, but they also made sure to have our 2 SIM cards ready for us. The entire experience was flawless! We were thoroughly impressed by the professionalism and friendliness of the whole team. Their English proficiency and extensive knowledge of history added immense value to the tours. The tour guides and drivers were exceptional, particularly during our visit to Abydos. It's rare to come across such a dedicated and accommodating team. We're eagerly looking forward to travelling with them again next year. Wishing them all good health and success – see you next year!

    Seamless organization and enriching experiences

    Posted by Anthony Tingle on 19th Aug 2024

    During our recent trip to Egypt, my wife and I decided to explore off-the-beaten-path destinations with the help of Landious Travel. After exchanging messages with their team on WhatsApp, we were promptly recommended a tour to Dendera and Abydos, which piqued our interest. On the day of the tour, our driver, Michael, arrived punctually at our hotel. He impressed us with his friendly demeanour and safe driving skills. Our tour guide, fluent in German, provided a captivating narrative about the historical significance of the Dendera Temple, shedding light on the worship of the mother goddess Hathor and the reign of Pharaoh Cleopatra. At the Abydos Temple, we were enraptured by our guide's storytelling of the timeless myth of Isis and Osiris. We were struck by the intricate reliefs and vivid colours that adorned the temple walls. The hieroglyphs carved into the stone were nothing short of awe-inspiring. Throughout the journey, our guide also shared insights into the rich traditions of the Egyptian people, providing us with a deeper understanding of the country and its inhabitants. We are truly grateful for the seamless organization and the enriching experiences that Landious Travel facilitated. This day will be imprinted in our memories, and we will certainly recommend their services to fellow travellers.

    A memorable trip to Abydos

    Posted by Ted Baker on 15th Jun 2024

    I and my wife were amazed by the incredible temples we visited in Egypt. Dendera and Abydos were far more breathtaking than anything else we experienced in Egypt. Although I initially had reservations about the 3-hour drive to these sites, the journey passed quickly, allowing us to see the beautiful countryside and daily village life in Egypt. Our guide was genuinely exceptional. He was highly knowledgeable and engaging and treated us to our most fantastic lunch in Egypt. He made the drive enjoyable and kept us entertained while being mindful of when we needed downtime and space to take all the photos we wanted. I wholeheartedly recommend not missing out on Dendera and Abydos if you will experience the best of Egypt. Our visit to the Dendera Temple was an incredibly fulfilling experience. It's a stunning place with a remarkably well-preserved temple and many impressive images. Our guide did an outstanding job, ensuring our safety and providing dedicated attention to every detail and explanation. Thank you, Landious Travel!
