Full Day Tour to Dendera Temple and Abydos Temple from Luxor
Overview of the tour in Luxor
Your guide will meet you at the reception of your hotel to start your full-day trip to Abydos.
In the holy city of Abydos, the cult center of the god Osiris, you will visit the amazing Temple of pharaoh Seti I (1323-1279 BC). This temple is unique in its design among the Egyptian temples which takes the form of the letter L. The temple was dedicated to seven various deities, Osiris, Isis, Horus, Amun, Re-Horakhty, Ptah, and Seti I as a deity.
From Abydos, you will drive back to Dendera.
Dendera is just 55 km north of Luxor. It was known as Tnatre, and it was the capital city of the sixth Nome of Upper Egypt.
The main feature of the complex of Dendera is the temple of the goddess Hathor. The Temple of Hathor is one of the most well-preserved antiquity sites in Egypt today and is an excellent example of traditional Pharaonic architecture. It was built primarily during the Ptolemaic Dynasty, which was a period of Greek rule in Egypt. However, the construction of the temple was completed under the Roman Emperor Trajan, who is seen depicted on the walls of the complex making offerings to Hathor.
