Private Guided Dendera and Abydos Tour from Luxor

Overview

You’ll begin with a transfer from Luxor to Dendera and visit the Temple of Hathor. Two Roman fountains flank the entrance to this temple, built as an homage to the goddess of love and pleasure. Your guide will explain how the mud-brick walls date back to the Roman era as you explore the temple complex, including the two birth houses, the Coptic basilica, a sanitarium and the sacred lake. From there you’ll continue to Abydos and the ruins around Kom es‑Sultan, where buildings date back to Predynastic times. You’ll wander the Old Kingdom residential area with an expert Egyptologist and then move into the part of the site associated with the Cult of Osiris — the god of the dead. Along the way your guide will share local legends that say Osiris was buried here after being murdered by his brother. The experience finishes with a return transfer to Luxor.
