new page, info, stub '''Abydos''' is the name commonly given to a significant archaeological locality in [[Middle Egypt]], a collection of temples, sites and ancient cemeteries located close to the town of ''al-Balyana'' in the [[Egypt|Egyptian]] province of , some km north of [[Luxor]]. ==Understand== ==Get in== ===By train=== Most travellers arrive at Abydos by train north from [[Luxor]], alighting at the station for the town of ''al-Balyana''. The fare is approximately LE 52, first class. FRom the station, either the tourist police or a police-escorted taxi will take you to the site of the Ramesside temples. Depeding on lccal conditions and police levels of business, you should be able to get ''at least'' a couple of hours visiting the site. ===By road=== You can go by taxi in the police-escorted convoy to Abydos in one day, often including [[Dendera]] as a stop-off point. Negotiated prices should be in the range of LE 200-300 for the hire of the taxi, with maybe 2-3 passengers. This manner of visiting, however, normally results in'''very''' restricted time at the sites and visiting the temples (usually less than an hour). ==See== *the '''Temple of Seti I''' - magnificent temple reliefs and the King List ==External links== [[WikiPedia:Abydos]] {{msg:stub}} |
