If you have a chance, take it to visit this magnificent temple. This tour justified all of our expectations. Our tour guide Mahmoud was amazing and exceptional and made our experience even better.

Our guide, Aladdin, was outside the front door of our hotel waiting for us (three adults). Took about an hour drive to get to Dendera, the car journey itself was an experience compared to the usual roads/driving typically in US so time didn’t seem to take too long. Aladdin gave descriptions and brought us around various parts of the temple complex with various explanations/descriptions of highlights before allowing us some free time at the end to explore the area ourselves at our own pace. The temple itself from the front exterior with the columns to me didn’t quite have the view impact as som

Our favorite experience in all of Egypt. Our flight was late coming into Luxor from Cairo, and the guide Mr. Hamdy had no problem waiting a half hour after our scheduled start time. It is about an hour drive from the main tourist accommodation area but well worth it -- the temple is extremely well preserved like something out of a movie. Hamdy was able to read the hieroglyphics like it was a book and tell us all the stories that were engraved on the walls. A must-do in Luxor.

Abdo and Mustafa have been absolutely great! This is a great trip if you’re looking for a half day tour wanting to visit Dendera temple! The temple is really impressive and worth the travel. We went there after seeing the pyramids and the valley of the kings, and we were still amazed by the sheer size and level of preservation.

Aladdin was our tour guide on this wonderful experience. Both him and our driver made us feel safe. Aladdin is very knowledgeable and made our visit to Dendera Temple fascinating. He took time showing us around the temple, explaining the aspects of the temple, the uses and history. The detail in this temple is breath taking. This visit was highly enjoyable, informative, and fascinating. I would highly recommend Aladdin as a tour guide.
