Abydos Sound and Light show

Al Ahram Weekly (Rehab Saad)

This piece looks at the development of Ain Al-Sukhna for additional tourism, but right at the end makes a throw-away comment about Abydos:

Part of the revenue of the Ain Al-Sukhna sale will go to the development of hotels owned by the state Egyptian General Company for Tourism and Hotels (EGOTH), affiliated to HOTAC, and to the development of sound and light projects, studios and cinemas. "We intend to build a hotel in Sohag and establish a sound and light project in Abydos. The government will use the revenue to pay for different projects including sewage and the development of roads especially in Upper Egypt," Abdel-Aziz said.
