Rute

1. An expert tour guide will pick you up from your Hotel or Cruise ship in Luxor and accompany you to visit Dendera temple complex. Discover the Mamisi (Birth house) of the goddess Isis, dates back to the Greek time and raised by Nectanebo II, the last native pharaohs (360–343 BC). Explore the temple of Hathor, one of the best preserved temples in all Egypt. The temple was founded by Pepi I (2250 BC). The ceiling of the Dendera Temple has recently been cleaned, in a careful way that removed hundreds of years of black soot, without harming the ancient paint underneath. As a result the spectacular ceiling painting has been exposed in Hathor temple, and some of the most vibrant and colorful paintings dating from antiquity are now visible. The sculptured Dendera zodiac is a widely known relief found in a late Greco-Roman temple, containing images of Taurus and the Libra. It was removed from the temple ceiling in 1820 and is now in the Louvre Museum.

About Luxor

Luxor ligger der det antikke Theben sto, med enorme templer på Nilens østbredd og kongegravene i Kongenes dal på den andre siden av elven.

På østbredden brer Karnak-tempelkomplekset seg ut over mange mål med pyloner, obelisker og søyleskogen i den store hypostylsalen. En sfinksallé forbinder det med Luxor-tempelet i bysentrum, som er særlig stemningsfullt når det er opplyst om kvelden. Luxor-museet og Mumifiseringsmuseet ligger langs kaiene ved elven.
