Wah-Sut (Ancient Egyptian: Wah-sut-Khakaure-maa-kheru-em-Abdju,[1] meaning Enduring are the places of Khakaure justified in Abydos)[clarification needed] is a town located south of Abydos in Middle Egypt. The name of the town indicates that it was originally built as an outlying part of Abydos, set up by the Egyptian state as housing for the people working in and around the funerary complex of pharaoh Senusret III (fl. c. 1850 BCE) of the Twelfth Dynasty, at the peak of the Middle Kingdom.
