Itinerary

Early in the morning. Your guide will pick you up from your hotel in Luxor to go on a full day trip between two of the most famous Egyptian temples, the Temples of Dendera and the Temple of Abydos.

You will start your trip by traveling north, specifically to the city of Qena, where there is one of the most wonderful and beautiful Ptolemaic temples, the beautiful Temple of Dendera, which was dedicated to the worship of the goddess Hathor, the goddess of music and beauty.
It is located 60 kilometers north of Luxor and 5 kilometers from the city of Qena.

The temple is characterized by being one of the best preserved temples, and it is surrounded by some legends that say that the ancient Egyptians knew light and produced it artificially. Archaeologists prove this hypothesis by the lotus flower (neolophrenia) that contains a snake inside it.

We then move to the Temple of Abydos, which was built by King Seti I and completed by his son, King Ramses II. Archaeologists confirm that the Abydos area was the first capital of Egypt during the period of the first and second dynasties. It was also a pilgrimage destination for the ancient Egyptians, as the city contains the symbolic tomb of the god Osiris.

The temple contains a list of the kings of ancient Egypt from the beginning of the first dynasty to the tenth dynasty. The list contains the names of Hatt-Melk and some kings who Ramses II considered not to be of royal blood or women like Hatshepsut were preserved.

This is a brief overview of the history and details of the temple. Of course, your tour guide will tell you a lot about the temple and the myths surrounding it.

After the visit, your guide will pick you up and return to Luxor and then to your hotel
