Abydos

This location hosts one of the most unusual temples from ancient Egypt (Arabic: أبيدوس). It has one of the most preserved and --in some people's opinion-- the most impressive temple in Egypt, it is a must see. It's located in Markaz elBalyana, Sohag Governorate (Arabic: مركز البلينا - محافظة سوهاج) on the western border of the Nile and the temple is at the desert directly on the verge of the fertile land. The location is very near the border of Qena Governorate.
