PrivateTour TO AbydosAnd Dendera

Accompanied by your private guide, you will be taken to Abydos where the Ancient city of Abydos once stood. It was the burial place for the first kings of a unified Egypt. The Predynastic cemetery of El Amra was excavated with hundreds of graves from all Predynastic stages. Settlements have been found, most representing small villages.

The temple is also the supposed resting place of the head of the God Osiris. At the back of the gigantic temple is a structure known as the Osireion. It was built in a way similar to the tombs in the Valley of the Kings. A delusive sarcophagus was found in the burial place of this complex temple.

The temple of Dendera is an ancient temple complex dating back to the Ptolemaic dynasty.

Further on, proceed to Dendera, a small town located about 60 km north of Luxor on the west bank of the Nile. Visit the best well preserved temple in Egypt. Enjoy flashy scenes that characterize the Roman emperor Trajan paying homage mainly to the Ancient goddess Hathor, as well as other mythical reliefs that garnish this magnificent Graeco Roman temple.

Walk by several Roman booths, pass through the colossal gateway of Domitian and Trajan that is surrounded by an enormous mud-brick enclosure and come into the cavernous hypostyle hall of Tiberius. Admire its majestic construction, within the walls are the temple, two birth houses, a Coptic basilica, a sacred lake and a temple of Isis. It was a site for chapels from the beginning of history of ancient Egypt.

After sightseeing in Abydos and Dendera, you will be dropped back to your hotel.
