Dendera and Abydos Temples Day Tour from Luxor

I booked the most expensive and complete option of this tour: private vehicle and driver for a group of 4 people, for 85€ per person. The description of Viator and my voucher clearly stated that this option included: escort guide from my hotel in Luxor throughout the visit to Abydos and Dendera and all tickets included. However, when starting and asking for the guide, the tour operator (Nile Holiday) told us that that 85€ per person only corresponded to the transfer to the temples, which completely contradicts what was specified in the voucher that I bought. As a result, we had to pay 1,700 Eg

Tour guide and tickets not included in the price even though listing states they are included. Tour operator argued with us saying they weren’t, and they could only provide a guide for one site for an additional $25. Don’t book this tour. We have requested a refund in the middle of the booking. I’m not even sure we will make it to the temple because the driver appears to have turned around and headed back to Luxor.

We were picked up and everything seemed okay until at the temple the certified Egyptologist guide started talking about some of the gods and I soon realized that he was incorrect about some of the most common names and roles. As we headed to the last temple at Karnak we started heading in the wrong direction and I mentioned that. He told me I am wrong and let him worry about it so I did, just for him to tell me I was right 25min later and we turned around. One we arrived we toured through and when we got to the Osirion he said “do you know about it? Because I do not” and was not able to explai

Having seen and experienced Luxor, Aswan, Memphis, and Giza, Dendera and Abydos are hands down the ones I would go back to again and again! Of course, nothing compares to the great pyramids but temple-wise, Dendera is truly an amazing site. You'll come out with a neck ache from gazing at the ceilings for so long but well worth it. The guide was amazing with insights at each of these places and the driver was super-friendly. One of the best tours I took in Egypt.

Hesham and hamada are very professional. Nice car. Speak very good english and knowledgable. Would definitely recommend.

Thoroughly enjoyed both temples. The colours are amazing in Hathor’s Temple and Temple of Seti. Well worth taking the time to go and visit as well as experiencing Egyptian way of life in drive up to Abydos. Guide was very good and driver took lots of care over numerous speed bumps.
