The Ministry of Tourism and Antiquities has announced an increase in the entrance fees for the Osireion building in the Abydos antiquities area in Sohag Governorate, raising it to 40,000 Egyptian pounds instead of 30,000 Egyptian pounds.
The fees include all visitors, whether foreign, Egyptian, or Arab, and cover a two-hour visit during official working hours, with a maximum of 49 people. If a visit is requested outside official working hours, additional supervision fees from the Tourism and Antiquities Police will be added.
The visit request is submitted through an accredited tourist company, and the procedures are carried out through the Supreme Council of Antiquities in Cairo. The collected amount is considered a fee for entering the building, not a visit ticket.
The Osireion, discovered in 1903, is considered one of the most expensive archaeological sites in the world.
It features a unique, long corridor covered with a semi-circular brick dome, leading to a small chamber that is the main reason for the high entrance fee.
The 60-meter long and 2.5-meter wide corridor contains complete funerary inscriptions about the dead, judgment, heaven, and hell in ancient Egyptian beliefs.
These inscriptions are the most important and complete of their kind in the world, with no similar texts found anywhere else.
