Dendera Temple Complex

Located north of Luxor, the Temple of Hathor at Dendera is one of Egypt’s best-preserved temples. Built in Greco-Roman times, it features stunning ceiling artwork, vibrant hieroglyphs, and beautiful carvings of the goddess Hathor, symbol of love, joy, and music.

See impressive elements such as:

• The famous Dendera Zodiac
• Well-preserved astronomical ceilings
• A sculpture of Queen Cleopatra VII

Temple of Abydos – Seti I

Continue your journey to Abydos, home to one of Egypt’s most sacred and important religious sites. The Temple of Seti I, later completed by Ramses II, contains exquisite reliefs, vibrant wall scenes, and inscriptions that remain unmatched in detail and preservation.

Abydos was considered a holy pilgrimage site for ancient Egyptians. Just as Muslims today dream of visiting Mecca, Egyptians once aspired to visit Abydos — the symbolic gateway to the afterlife and the tomb of Osiris, god of resurrection.

After exploring the site, enjoy lunch in Abydos before beginning your return journey.

Arrive back at your hotel in Hurghada around 8:00 PM.
