Overview

Visit two of the Luxor-area's lesser-known temples on this private tour. While most Luxor tours focus on local temples in the East and West Banks, this tour will get you away from the crowds. You'll visit the Greco-Roman Dendera Temple as well as the Temple of Abydos, built by Ramses II in honor of his father, with a stop for lunch along the way.

We had an absolutely amazing day with our guide Hesham. These 2 temples really are the most amazing temples you can Vossy while staying in Luxor. It’s a long drive, but totally worth it and you basically end up with the temples to yourself. The best examples of colour and Intricate hieroglyphs you will find. Thanks so much Hesham for bringing the temple walls to life for us!

Beautiful temples. If you have an extra day and want to see how people live outside Cairo this is a great trip. Our guide was great and showed us several areas in the temples I don't think we would have found (or understood) on our own. It is a lot of time in the car on sometimes bumpy roads - but we enjoyed a break from the chaos of Cairo/Luxor and the rustic scenery. If you're really into history, hieroglyphs, or authentic culture this is a must see. If not, you might want to skip it.
