2. The Temple of Hathor at Dendera is one of Egypt’s best-preserved temple complexes, enclosed by a massive mud-brick wall covering nearly 40,000 square meters. The site has a remarkable history spanning over two millennia, with construction and additions beginning in the Middle Kingdom and continuing through the Roman period. The present temple was largely built during the late Ptolemaic era under Ptolemy XII Auletes and later expanded by Roman emperors, including Tiberius. Dendera is renowned for its beautifully preserved astronomical ceiling and accessible rooftop, offering stunning panoramic views of the surrounding countryside. Visitors can also admire the famous Dendera Zodiac, a remarkable bas-relief carving once located on the temple ceiling. Following recent restoration work, the vibrant original colors of the temple ceiling can now be appreciated after centuries of soot were carefully removed. After your visit, you will be transferred back to your hotel in Luxor.

About Luxor

Luxor ligger där det forntida Thebe stod, med enorma tempel på Nilens östra strand och kungagravarna i Konungarnas dal på andra sidan floden.

På östra stranden breder tempelkomplexet Karnak ut sig över hektar av pyloner, obelisker och kolonnskogen i sin stora hypostylsal. En sfinxallé förbinder det med Luxortemplet i stadens centrum, som är särskilt stämningsfullt när det är upplyst på kvällen. Luxormuseet och Mumifieringsmuseet ligger längs kajen vid floden.

Top-ranked sights in Luxor: Valley of the Kings, Temple of Hatshepsut (at Deir el-Bahari), Colossi of Memnon.
