Itinerary
Our driver picks you up from your accommodation in Luxor and drive in about 1 hour to Qena where Dendera temples is located. Enjoy a 2 hour visit to Dendera, the entire Dendera complex covers about 40,000 square meters and is surrounded by a large, enclosed wall of mud. The main building in the complex is the Temple of Hathor. The existing structure began construction in the late Ptolemaic period at the time of Ptolemy Auletes in July 54 BCE and the colonnaded hall was built in Roman times under Tiberius. Depictions of Cleopatra VI appearing on temple walls are prime examples of Ptolemaic Egyptian art. And there are vivid scenes in which the Roman Emperor Trajan pays tribute to the ancient Egyptian goddess Hathor. From Qena it's about a 1 hour drive back to Luxor

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.
