Highlights
  • Dendera Temple Complex - The pickup will be at 7am by air conditioning car to go to the Dandara temple in Qena Governorate, the temple of the Hathor, which has been discovered.

The whole complex covers some 40,000 square meters and is surrounded by a hefty mudbrick enclosed wall. Dendera was inhabited in prehistory, a useful oasis on the banks of the Nile. It seems that pharaoh Pepi I (ca. 2250 BC) built on this site and evidence exists of a temple in the Eighteenth Dynasty (ca 1500 BC). The earliest extant building in the compound today is the Mammisi raised by Nectanebo II –

Dancing in Dandara - We love the experience of Dandara. It was a magnificent and beautiful temple, with colours still present in its reliefs. Still very much intact, you could almost feel as if you are there in a procession to offer Hathor offerings. Despite being the younger of the many temples in Egypt, it’s so beautiful and those visiting Luxor must visit Dqndara in Qena, worth every minute. Ahmed or guide was very amusing and knowledgeable and made the visit even more entertaining.

Greatly preserved temple - The Temple of Hathor is one of the most well-preserved temples in all of Egypt. There are 3 temples to explore in the complex. the birthing temple at the front, the temple of Isis behind the main temple, and the main temple dedicated to Hathor. Many desert people such as Bedouins used this as a place to stay and removing sand and soot was difficult to bring out the vibrant colours of the walls and ceilings.

Totally unproffesiona and unreliable service that takes money from you but never shows up to collect you - I booked and payed fr a Viator tour to peick me up at a hotel in the West bank of Luxor, and they never pitched. I was stuck on the westbank after they had agreed to collect me there at 1pm to travel to Dendara with no communication, no explanation. when I made an inquiry regarding what happened the tour operator indicated that the driver was stuck in traffic and I should wait a few minutes, I waited an hour and a half until I decided to cancel my trip as this was ridiculous and missed out on my experience to Dendarah. Nobody cared
