Wonderful experience, very educational and professional - Hassan is definitely a very professional and knowledgeable guide. He was very kind to us from the beginning and we felt very comfortable with the transportation. He made the tour seem more entertaining because of the way he explained it to us and the time flew by because of the incredible time we had. He is a very prepared guide so it is totally worth visiting the places with a guide like him👌🌟❤️

Amazing Temple - The visit to Dendera Temple was truly enchanting. The temple's hieroglyphics and well-preserved carvings transported me back in time. Sayed, our guide, brought the history to life with his knowledge and deep understanding of ancient Egyptian culture. His insights added meaning to every corner of the temple, making the experience truly unforgettable. If you're ever in Egypt, don't miss the chance to explore Dendera Temple with Sayed

A must see. - An excellent trip with Moshen our very knowledgeable guide and Ahmed, a good driver. The car was comfortable and water and a snack was provided too. Dendera temple is astonishing with so much to see and very different to many of the other temples you can visit. The images in bas relief on the ceilings in the first columned area are stunning and we could have spent hours looking at them all. We are keen photographers and our guide was very patient and gave us plenty of time. He explained so much about the different images and scenes all over the different parts of the temple. The colours , particularly in the reliefs on the ceilings are wonderful The temple is one of the few which is largely intact with pillars snd ceilings. Quite awesome. It was also interesting to go up to the second floor

Dendera Temple Tour, a piece of history and must-see - Today we were in the Dendera Temple with our tour guide Sayed Gamal (Reflection Company). From the pick-up, through the tour, to the return trip, all of our questions were answered professionally and in detail. The relationships between the individual hieroglyphs and historical references were also explained to us on site, down to the smallest detail. Sayed really went to a lot of trouble to give us an insight into the temple. The temple itself is completely preserved from start to finish and even the colors are still clearly visible. For me, the tour was a 10/10 and definitely gets a recommendation! Thanks again to Sayed for this tour.

Highly recommended Dendera trip from Luxor - 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 some of the other temples with the huge pylons. But Dendera is fairly complete throughout and with an additional level/story and with a lot of detail and color throughout, especially on all the ceilings. Spent most of the time here it seemed gazing upwards to take it all in. Very few people were here considering how impressive a site it was. We were leaving Luxor the next day and Aladdin also arranged us a ride to the airport, where again, he was there right right on time for our pickup to the airport.

The highlight of our Egypt trip - 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.
