Itinerario

1. Considered one of the most important archaeological sites in Egypt, the sacred city of Abydos was the site of many ancient temples, including Umm el-Qa'ab, a royal necropolis where early pharaohs were entombed.[1] These tombs began to be seen as extremely significant burials and in later times it became desirable to be buried in the area, leading to the growth of the town's importance as a cult site.

2. The Temple of Hathor at Dendara lacks the sublime quality of Seti’s edifice at Abydos, but its fabulous astronomical ceiling and nearly intact rooftop sanctuaries offer a unique insight into the solar rituals at other cult sites where they have not survived. Dendara also shows how Egypt’s Greek and Roman rulers identified themselves with the pharaohs and deities of Ancient Egypt by copying their temples, rituals and iconography down to the last hieroglyph – though they did tinker with a few details of reliefs and murals. Goddesses and queens became bustier, and the feet of royalty were shown with all their toes (instead of only the big toe, as the Ancient Egyptians did).

About Luxor

Luxor se alza sobre la antigua Tebas, con enormes templos en la orilla oriental del Nilo y, al otro lado, las tumbas reales del Valle de los Reyes.

En la orilla este, el complejo del templo de Karnak se extiende por hectáreas de pilonos, obeliscos y el bosque de columnas de su Gran Sala Hipóstila. Una avenida de esfinges lo une con el Templo de Luxor, en el centro de la ciudad, especialmente evocador cuando se ilumina por la noche. El Museo de Luxor y el Museo de la Momificación se encuentran a lo largo del paseo junto al río.

Top-ranked sights in Luxor: Valley of the Kings, Temple of Hatshepsut (at Deir el-Bahari), Colossi of Memnon.
