The Temple of Seti I, built by Pharaoh from the New Kingdom period of ancient Egypt is cited as the most impressive religious structure still standing in Egypt. Built as a strategic project to reinforce his family’s claim of the Egyptian throne, the Temple of Seti I at Abydos stands with pride to the present day.
With exquisite decoration, the Temple Of Seti I is the main attraction of Abydos. The nearby desert views are spectacular.
Abydos holds a unique place in the holy landscape of Ancient Egypt. Osiris, the Egyptian god of the afterlife, is believed to be buried in the grounds of Abydos. Numerous temples dedicated to Osiris were built in Abydos prior to the tenancy of Seti I, who built new temples on the same grounds.
Seti’s temple was dedicated to the Egyptian god Osiris, and consisted of a chapel dedicated to the different forms of the god Osiris, two open courts, two hypostyle halls, a pylon, seven shrines, each to an important Egyptian deity (Horus, Isis, Osiris, Amun-Ra, Ra-Horakhty and Ptah) and one to Seti himself, and various chambers in the southern part of the temple.
The temple continues to be visited by thousands of visitors every year. Contact Nile Holiday to book your tour to the enigmatic Temple of Seti I.
