Strongly recommend - Our tour of Dendara and Abydos with Mohamed Noor was a fantastic experience. He isn't a typical tour guide who memorizes a few facts and recites them to you, but a true scholar who can not only discuss the facts but the theories behind the facts. Watching him translate hieroglyphs in real-time was a pretty incredible experience. Highly recommended, especially for true history nerds!

A brilliant site with spiritual gravitas. - The guide Ashraf was highly knowledgeable. I saw both the Dendera and Abydos sites with plenty of time for both. They are must-sees if you are in Luxor. Very satisfying private tour.

Amazing experience! - If you enjoy 'off the beaten path' experiences, this day trip to Temples at Dendera and Abydos is for you. After a 3+ hour drive into the Sahara desert, you'll reach these two amazing archeological sites. You will be blown away by the interiors of both - the complexity of the architecture, the hieroglyphs and murals, all breathtaking. I was very fortunate to have Ahmed as a tour guide, he was thorough and interesting in his explanations of the details of these sites, and you could tell that he really loves these Temples and enjoys sharing his extensive knowledge with you. Overall, an amazing experience that will stay with you forever. Definitely worth booking!

Very professional and knowledgeable guide - 875908833 Osama Ahmed, my guide was very professional and knowledgeable. He gave me a lot of detailed insightful information about the site, places or spot overlooked by other guides. He reads some hieroglyphs tells about his training. He’s also very punctual. I’ recommend him and his tour

Dendera temple - A wonderful experience of one of the most beautiful temples of Egypt. My advice: take your time to admire all the beautiful wall scenes and ceiling painted scenes. Take a private tour and have the best explanation you can have with a guide. My guide, Mostafa el hefny, was/is a kind and warm person with a lot of knowledge. So far the best guide I ever had. I can recommend this trip highly to anyone. A very good experience indeed. Everyone should have this kind of experience while in Egypt. I would definitely do it again.

Great tour - Great tour. My guide (Mohamed Sayed) arrived on time, and was able to answer all of my questions. The temple is in great condition, and is pretty unique. The paints are very well preserved, and there are multiple levels (including an underground crypt!). Overall, would recommend.

Dendara temple Egypt - We did a private tour of Dendara temple with Mohamad. It is not one of the biggest temples, but it is one of the best. Colors and details better than any others. Also Mohamad did an excellent tour and would highly recommend him.

Great tour with Mohamed Sayed - The temple is amazing, definitely worth visiting. We were able to book the tour last minute, which was great as we didn’t miss the day. Our guide Mohamed Sayed, did everything possible during the day to ensure we had a great experience. We had some issues with getting to the temple, because of road blocks, but Mohamed was always calm, persistent and friendly with us, we really appreciated. He also left us enough time to take photos, ask questions. We never felt like we were in a rush, which was truly appreciated.
