Luxor day tours and activities

We provide private Egyptologist tour guides for trips to the Temples of Dendera, Hathor, and Abydos from Luxor. Book your exciting Luxor trip with us online now. From Luxor, go to Egypt's most well-known temples, Dendera and Abydos.

The Temple of Dendera is Qena's attraction. It is distinguished by its unique architecture and its paintings that retain their colours. It is encircled by several ancient sites and has twelve crypts. It was built by King Ptolemy for the goddess of love and beauty.

King Ptolemy III constructed the temple out of sandstone, and other Roman emperors altered it over the roughly 200-year building period. Its distinctive architecture, which is abundant with engravings and paintings, sets it apart. Statues and hieroglyphic inscriptions adorn its walls and columns, and they are exquisitely and precisely carved. Come explore its history with us.

When Egypt was an empire, it stretched from Mesopotamia to the Algerian mountains and ended at the headwaters of the Nile in central Africa. During that time, Abydos was a place of pilgrimage for all Egyptians...  Because its remains were buried beneath the sand, Abydos was known until recently as the "buried village of Al-Araba." The name was changed to its real name, Abydos. It is one of the province's and Egypt's oldest and most famous villages.
