Itinerary
The Dendera Temple Complex dates back to the Ptolemaic period (late 4th century BCE to the mid-1st century BCE) and was built on the site of earlier structures. It consists of several buildings, including the main temple, the birth house, the sacred lake, a sanatorium, and various chapels and shrines. The main temple at Dendera is an impressive structure with beautifully decorated walls and ceilings. The reliefs and carvings depict various scenes from Egyptian mythology and religious rituals. One of the most famous features of the temple is the Dendera Zodiac, a well-known astronomical relief that is now displayed in the Louvre Museum in Paris.

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.
