Perfect tour! - This was an amazing tour! Honestly I have nothing bad to say because the whole experience was wonderful from the start to finish. The temple was absolutely beautiful, so much intricate art on the temple walls to look at. My driver Mohamed picked me up on time on both tours that i went on, and was so kind and friendly he made me feel very comfortable. My guide Nasser Hamed was absolutely perfect. He was aslo very friendly and polite, and he had an unbelievable amount of knowledge which he shared on the way to Dendera and inside. He let me go at my own pace so that I could take as many pictures as I want, and he even took the best pictures and videos of me also, (I have attached two pictures that he took but he took so many for me!) I highly recommend going on a tour and if you can request Nasser and Mohammed please do!!

Great quick experience and tour guide! - The Dendera temple is a must and just a quick hour trip from Luxor! Aladdin went into all the great details of the temple explaining each and every room and meaning of the carvings on the wall. Aladdin was super helpful the whole time and communicated the plan a day ahead. I would 100% recommend if you are trying to do anything in Luxor before your flight or in general, as Dendera is a quick and easy trip and doesn’t take more than 3 hours or 4. I went in the morning and got dropped off at the airport right after. Make sure you ask for Aladdin!

Dendera - a must see ! - Very nice tour with our guide Aladdin and driver Youssef. We started early, so we were among the first to visit the temple that day. Aladdin is very knowledgeable and gave us very detailed explanations. The carvings on the walls, columns and ceiling of the temple are beautiful and still have their colour preserved in most part. We had a wonderful time and we recommend this tour with Aladdin and Youssef.

A magical afternoon full of fascinating history - 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 both informative and fascinating. He took time showing us around the temple, explaining the aspects of the temple, the uses and history. We had time to ask questions, take photographs and take in the beauty of this very special temple dedicated to the Goddess Hathor. The information shared by our guide was both extensive and interesting. The detail that has remained in good condition in this temple is breath taking. This visit was highly enjoyable, informative, and fascinating. I would highly recommend Aladdin as a tour guide. You will learn so much more than going in your own. He explained all amazing history captured in the inscriptions and images within the temple. Nothing was too much trouble. This turned out to be a wonderful trip with beautiful memories to cherish. Dendura Temple is a very special place and well worth visiting.
