Later additions were made during the Roman period.

2. Apart from these, there are also scenes in the temple complex portraying the Ptolemaic rulers. For example, carved onto the external face of one of the temple walls is a huge relief of Cleopatra VII and her son by Julius Caesar and co-ruler, Ptolemy XV (better known as Caesarion). The two Ptolemaic rulers are shown dressed in Egyptian garb, and offering sacrifices. Hathor was also regarded as a goddess of healing, and this is evident in the presence of a sanatorium in the temple complex. Here, pilgrims would come to be cured by the goddess. Sacred water (which was made holy by having it poured onto statues inscribed with sacred texts) was used for bathing, unguents were dispensed by the priests of Hathor, and sleeping quarters were provided for those hoping that the goddess would appear in their dreams, and so aid them. After visiting the temple. we will have lunch in Qena City then we depart to Marsa Alam

About Marsa Alam

Marsa Alam is a small resort town on Egypt's southern Red Sea coast, known for coral reefs, sea turtles and wild desert behind the shore.

The town lies on the Red Sea coast of Egypt's Eastern Desert, with long reefs just offshore and a thinly populated hinterland of bare mountains and dry valleys. Marsa Alam itself is small, and most visitors stay in resorts spread along the coast road, close to the water. The reefs are the draw, with sheltered bays that slope gently into clear water.
