Dendera & Abydos: The Temples Beyond Luxor
Two of Egypt's best-preserved temples, both usually skipped by shorter trips.
Flat temple floors at both sites, plus a stair climb to Dendera's roof chapels — and a long drive each way from Luxor.
About this tour
A long day by car north of Luxor, and one most travelers who take it call worth every hour — the Temple of Hathor at Dendera, with its famous zodiac ceiling and colors still vivid after two thousand years, and the Temple of Seti I at Abydos, where the wall reliefs are among the best-preserved in Egypt.
