Itinerário

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 ergue-se no local da antiga Tebas, com vastos templos na margem leste do Nilo e os túmulos reais do Vale dos Reis do outro lado do rio.

Na margem leste, o complexo do templo de Karnak estende-se por hectares de pilones, obeliscos e a floresta de colunas da sua Grande Sala Hipostila. Uma avenida de esfinges liga-o ao Templo de Luxor, no centro da cidade, especialmente evocador quando iluminado à noite. O Museu de Luxor e o Museu da Mumificação ficam ao longo da marginal do rio.
