Rute

1. Abydos in Middle Egypt is an ancient holy place and burial ground of the rulers of the late prehistoric proto-kingdom, as well as the first attested kings of the politically unified Egyptian state. Buildings constituting the settlement area in northern Abydos dating back to Predynastic times have been found around Kom es-Sultan, while recent excavators have found an Old Kingdom residential area to the south-east which contains a street of mudbrick houses with courtyards and a faience workshop with its kilns. Abydos is home to "The Cult of Osiris", the god of the dead. It is said the head of Osiris was buried at the site after he was murdered by his brother.

2. The approach path to the Temple of Hathor is between two Roman fountains that end at the massive entry gate. Hathor was the goddess of pleasure and love and was generally shown as a cow, or woman with a cow's head. The enclosure walls are mud-brick and date to the Roman era. Within the walls are the temple, two birth houses, a Coptic Basilica, a sanitarium, a sacred lake and the Temple of the Birth of Isis. The temple has a long history with evidence that Pepi I (Old Kingdom) rebuilt the temple, while other texts refer to reconditioning by Thutmose III, Amenhotep III and Rameses II and III (New Kingdom). Additions were made during the Greek, Roman and Ptolemy periods.

About Luxor

Luxor ligger der det antikke Theben sto, med enorme templer på Nilens østbredd og kongegravene i Kongenes dal på den andre siden av elven.

På østbredden brer Karnak-tempelkomplekset seg ut over mange mål med pyloner, obelisker og søyleskogen i den store hypostylsalen. En sfinksallé forbinder det med Luxor-tempelet i bysentrum, som er særlig stemningsfullt når det er opplyst om kvelden. Luxor-museet og Mumifiseringsmuseet ligger langs kaiene ved elven.
