The Temple of Abydos was built by King Seti I and its construction was completed by his son, King Ramses II. The Temple of Dendera is a Ptolemaic temple that mimics the future because of the special engravings of the celestial bodies and the constellations that we still use and rely on to this day.

Itinerary
You will start your trip by traveling north, specifically to the city of Qena, where there is one of the most wonderful and beautiful Ptolemaic temples, the beautiful Temple of Dendera, which was dedicated to the worship of the goddess Hathor, the goddess of music and beauty. It is located 60 kilometers north of Luxor and 5 kilometers from the city of Qena. The temple is characterized by being one of the best preserved temples, and it is surrounded by some legends that say that the ancient Egyptians knew light and produced it artificially. Archaeologists prove this hypothesis by the lotus flower (neolophrenia) that contains a snake inside it.

About Luxor
Luxor stands on the site of ancient Thebes, with vast temples on the Nile's east bank and the royal tombs of the Valley of the Kings across the river.
On the east bank, the Karnak temple complex spreads across acres of pylons, obelisks and the forest of columns in its Great Hypostyle Hall. An avenue of sphinxes links it to Luxor Temple in the town centre, which is especially atmospheric when lit up in the evening. The Luxor Museum and the Mummification Museum sit along the riverside corniche.
Top-ranked sights in Luxor: Valley of the Kings, Temple of Hatshepsut (at Deir el-Bahari), Colossi of Memnon.
