ABSTRACT
T o visit the quarries and shrines of Gebel Silsileh the visitor, who.is not travelling by steamer or dahabiyeh, should take
the early train from Aswi'ln, which arrives at K=agoug station before 9 A.M., returning to Aswi'ln by the express in the early afternoon. There are no donkeys to be had at Kagoug, except by arrangement with the villagers, and a dragoman, therefore, should be sent to obtain them and also a ferry-boat, on the previous day. The ancient remains are about three miles or so from the station, a point of rocky hills to the south-west being one's objective. To the traveller the wonderful quarries on the east bank will not fail to be of interest, and the shrine of Horemheb on the west bank deserves a visit; while to the archreologist there are numerous small shrines, tombs, and rock steles which are worth visiting.
