Dendera & Abydos Temples Day Tour from Luxor

At 7:00 AM, your MGO Travel tourguide will pick you up from your hotel or Nile Cruise in Luxor. You will then be transferred by private air-conditioned vehicle to Abydos, driving north from Luxor to visit two of the most complete and impressive temples in Egypt.

Temple of Seti I (Great Temple of Abydos):

Situated in Abydos, one of the most important archaeological sites of Ancient Egypt, this temple was a necropolis for Egypt’s earliest kings and later became a pilgrimage center for the worship of Osiris. The temple has an unusual L-shaped ground plan and was built primarily of limestone, with some sandstone in certain areas. Completed after Seti I’s death by his son Ramesses II, it features both Ramesses II’s characteristic sunk relief style and the fine raised relief of Seti I.

Temple of Dendera (Temple of Hathor):

Hathor, associated with music, joy, dance, and motherhood, was among the most important and popular deities in ancient Egypt. Her main cult center was at Dendera, where one of the best-preserved temples in Egypt stands today. The temple’s entrance, with six massive columns topped with Hathor’s head, is considered one of Egypt’s most beautiful monuments. Sistrums (musical instruments) closely associated with the goddess frame her head.

At the end of the tour, transfer back to your hotel in Luxor.
