Full Day Tour to Dendera & Abydos

Our Tour

At 7.00 am, Our Egypt Tailor Made tour guide will lead you by air conditioned vehicle towards Dendera Temple which is located about 50 KM north of Luxor and 4 KM from the River. It was one of the principal cult centers of the goddess Hathor “Goddess of Maternity, Joy, Music, and love", The Greeks identified goddess Hathor as Aphrodite. The site contains a large number of structures from different periods of Egyptian history, but most prominent today is the Greco-Roman Hathor temple, which was largely constructed between 54 and 29 BC. Visitors can wander the columned halls, underground chambers, and stairways of the intact building, which is covered with hieroglyphic inscriptions.

Abydos is notable for the memorial Temple of Seti I, which contains an inscription from the nineteenth dynasty known to the modern world as the Abydos King List. The temple was built by King Seti I and completed by his son King Ramses II.

Then you will be transferred back to Luxor to stay overnight.
