Derdara...A temple not to be missed, with Ahmed, the cutest Guide in Luxor! - The tour included a visit to the temples of Dendara and Abydos, in the end we decided to do only the first for the long distance and our Guide Ahmed perfectly rescheduled the day with excursions to the temple of Habu (for me among the most beautiful in Luxor) and the tombs of the workers, really suggestive and above all colorful... During the return trip from Dandara we made a stop in the town of Qena to see the real life of an Egyptian town where we drank a delicious sugar cane juice. We will also remember the songs, Italian and not, that Ahmed made us hear during the car trip, a very prepared but also nice Guide!

Excellent tour with guide Ebrahim! - We highly enjoyed this tour! First of all, we had a very knowledgeable guide Ebrahim, who gave us a very clear short summary of the history of Ancient Egypt. Then he told us the history of the two temples and showed us every room of the temples. He showed and explained to us every even slightly important titles inside the temples and gave us sufficient time to take the photos. The car and the driver were also well organized and chose the best desert roads for the tour. Overall, the tour exceeded our expectations! Highly recommended. 🤩

Best trip from Luxor - Excellent trip! Highly recommended! Not as crowded as Karnak and Luxor temples and more well preserved. Mr. Ibrahim, a complete gentleman, kind and experienced. You can see his knowledge by the important history data he shares. The driver Khalid was also very kind and helpful. Best car I ride in Egypt. Clean, modern and well preserved Mitsubishi. I wish all the tour guides were as knowledgeable and courteous as Mr. Ibrahim.

Abydos and Dandara, overday from Luxor - Dandara and Abydos are two temples that are not visited as often as others in Egypt, which is a pity because they are wonderful, impressive places. While in Luxor, we went with Luxor Egypt Travel on a Day Trip to Abydos and Dandara. I recommend it wholeheartedly, an experienced driver, a guide with great knowledge, an unforgettable day.

So beautiful to witness - Our tour guide was Ahmed and he was very sweet and professional. We had mentioned how it was our last day in Luxor and we didn’t get the chance to visit Karnak. So he offered to adjust our itinerary so that we could squeeze it in. It turned out to be great we absolutely loved visiting Karnak. I highly recommend booking!

Fantastic Tour - We started the day at 8 am and ended at 5 pm with a patient and knowledgeable guide. There were not a lot of tourists in Dendara and Abydos, which made the experience more pleasant and enjoyable.

Both temples were amazing, specially Abydos, absolutely magical. Totally recommended
