El Araba El Madfuna (Arabic: العربة المدفونة al-ʿarabah al-madfūnah, meaning 'the Buried Waggon', also known as Arabet Abydos) is a town in Egypt. It is located south of Sohag.
The old name of the town is al-Khirba, which comes from 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.
