About the Tour

This private tour from Luxor takes you to Abydos and Dendera, two of the most important and best-preserved temple sites in Egypt. It is an excellent choice for travelers who want to explore lesser-visited locations and gain deeper insight into ancient Egyptian religion, art, and history.

Your day begins with an early morning pick-up from your hotel or Nile cruise in Luxor. Travel north in a comfortable, private, air-conditioned vehicle through the landscapes of Upper Egypt, passing villages, farmland, and desert scenery. Police checkpoints along the route are part of standard safety procedures and ensure a safe journey.

Your first stop is Abydos, one of the most sacred cities of ancient Egypt and a major center of worship dedicated to the god Osiris. Here you will explore the remarkable Temple of Seti I, famous for its exceptional preservation, fine reliefs, and unique architectural layout. Your licensed Egyptologist guide will explain the significance of the temple’s seven sanctuaries and the renowned Abydos King List, offering valuable insight into ancient Egypt’s royal history.

After visiting Abydos, you will enjoy lunch at a local restaurant, which is included in the tour price (drinks are not included). This break allows you to relax and recharge before continuing the journey.

In the afternoon, continue to the Dendera Temple Complex, home to the magnificent Temple of Hathor, goddess of love, joy, music, and motherhood. One of the best-preserved temples in Egypt, Dendera is known for its beautifully carved Hathor-headed columns, richly decorated ceilings, and detailed wall reliefs. Highlights include the astronomical scenes, sacred crypts, and rooftop chapels, all explained in depth by your guide.

After completing the visits, you will return to Luxor and be dropped off at your accommodation in the late afternoon or early evening.

This private tour is perfect for travelers seeking a calm, informative, and uncrowded cultural experience, discovering two extraordinary temples that many visitors to Egypt never get to see.
