Overview
The old name of the town is al-Khirba (Arabic: الخربة), which comes from Coptic: ⲡⲣⲡⲉ, romanized: prpe, lit. 'the temple' and relates to the ruins of the ancient Egyptian town of Abydos, on the site of which it is located.[1][2] Tourists often visit the site to see the ruins of the temples of Seti I and Ramesses II, although a large number of other ruins and monuments are also located nearby, ranging from Pre-Dynastic through early Christian to Islamic and modern times.
