The temple, dedicated to Hathor, is a stunning masterpiece of ancient architecture, and Ali’s expert guidance truly brought its history and beauty to life.
From the moment we arrived, Ali shared fascinating insights about the temple’s construction, its role in ancient Egyptian society, and the significance of Hathor as a deity. He took us through the grand hypostyle hall, pointing out the beautifully preserved ceiling carvings, and explained the astrological importance of the zodiac ceiling.

One of the most magical moments was exploring the underground crypts and climbing to the rooftop of the temple, where we had a breathtaking view of the Nile and surrounding area. Ali’s attention to detail and his ability to explain complex historical and spiritual concepts in an engaging way made the experience unforgettable.
Ali’s professionalism, warmth, and genuine passion for history made this tour truly special. He took time to answer all our questions and ensured we had ample opportunity to explore and appreciate the temple’s wonders at our own pace.
