Explore the breathtaking Temple of Hathor, the goddess of love, music, and healing, and then move on to the Temple of Osiris in Abydos, a significant religious site for the ancient Egyptians. Just like modern Muslims aspire to complete a pilgrimage to Mecca at least once in their lifetime, ancient Egyptians dreamed of visiting Abydos, which was closely linked to the gateway into the afterlife.

Seti I was the father of Ramesses II, who completed most of the temple's construction after his father's death. The temple he built contains small chapels dedicated to each of the major gods and is regarded as one of the best temples in all of Egypt.
