Dagtocht naar de tempels van Dendera en Abydos

If ancient Egypt had offered tours like this, tourism would’ve died with the pharaohs. We booked for 10:00. The guide — who goes by the name “Ra” (unfortunately not a god, just a man with no concept of time) — showed up one hour late without apology. To “make up for it,” he rushed us through the day and suggested we eat lunch inside a moving van. Four people crammed into a dusty vehicle, juggling styrofoam containers while dodging potholes and prayers. The food? Local, yes. Edible, barely. And charged at double the fair price — 60€ for a meal that wouldn’t cost more than 30€ anywhere else in E

For those who want to go a little off the beaten track and experience some truly unique and remarkable sites you won’t see on other tours, this is one to book! Our tour guide Ra has a PhD in Hieroglyphics and gave us a crash course on how to read the rich stories presented in the temples of Dandara and Abydos. Both of these temple complexes are staggering in their complexity, beauty, and size but Ra did a fantastic job in keeping us on track and aware of the significance and history of everything around us. In addition to his deep knowledge of Egyptology, Ra is also an excellent photographer -

Tour guide was very knowledgeable and polite, explaining every part of the temples. Also took good pictures, which I noticed on my trip most guides struggled to do.

Good trip to temples of Dendera and Abydos. The temples were amazing. Guide Ragab was very helpful, informative and speaks very good English. We liked him as he recommended good places to get food and also value cartouches. Highly recommended!
