Temple of Sety I

The House of Life Hotel is located a stone’s throw away from the Seti I temple, one of the most significant, intriguing and well-preserved temples of Ancient Egypt. Dedicated to Osiris, the temple was built in the 19th dynasty by Pharaoh Seti I and completed by his son Pharaoh Ramses II.

In the worship of the Osiris cult Abydos was one of the major pilgrimage sites of Egypt. A pilgrimage every Egyptian hoped to accomplish once in his/her life.  It was the wish of many ancient Egyptians to be buried in Abydos in order to be near their God Osiris. Those who could not achieve this goal sent a stela (an inscribed lintel) to have it placed in the huge cemetery of the desert of Abydos.  Um El Qa’ab (Mother of Pots) with the tombs of the Pharaohs from the first three dynasties, the desert region with its still undiscovered tombs, remains of pyramids and temples, Kom el-Sultan and Shunet el- Zebib (Storehouse of Grapes), the temple of Sety I and the temple of Ramses II exude a rich history. From a historical perspective this makes a visit to Abydos a very valuable experience.
