Flawless tour and great temples, probably the best in Egypt. - Abydos and Dendera temples are not easy to reach but they worth an effort! The daytrip means about 6 hours in a car so we were happy to have a good Japanese car and careful driver with us. We started 2 hours later than these tours normally do but were in time to see everything thanks to Love Egypt and Mr. Hass, who actually joined us to ensure smooth trip. The price was great too.
