Abydos Tours and Tickets - page 11

Our guide Ahmed and the driver Ahmed made this a very nice day trip. The pacing was good and the car was comfortable. The explanation of the sights was satisfactory.

The main thing to know is that the 6-7 hour time estimate is not accurate. It took 8 hours and if you've seen a lot of temples, you might want to consider whether it's worth spending a full day driving to see two more. In general the guide was very knowledgeable and driver drove very safely. Guide and driver accommodated our group's needs. The temple in Dendera is quite similar to the one is Esna, but Dendera one has interesting faces on the tops of the columns; in addition, this one has ladders to a couple high up rooms, and an interesting long flight of shallow stairs to the rooftop that other temples in Upper Egypt do not have. The Great Seti I temple in Abydos is interesting for the rays of light coming through the roof. Perhaps more interesting is the Osireion, an ancient temple behind that people think is 4-5 stories deep, but remains mostly under water. However, the stairs down to it were closed and we could only see from above. Oddly our guide knew nothing about it.

Long day, glad I wasn't driving. Only a few people, so plenty of space to wonder and take photographs. Abydos only had about 12 people there total. No wonder, the road through the town is horrific.

Excellent tour to Dendera and Abydos temples. Our driver was very friendly and punctual. All went very well.

The excursion to visit the temples of Abydos and Dendera this January 2025 was extraordinary, with an exceptional driver and breathtaking monuments. It was the first time a tour agency driver arrived ahead of the scheduled time at our hotel. Must know the Riad is difficult and takes time you will never forget su h experience Thank you to Eye of Egypt! Abydos and Dendera are truly handled by an agency that lives up to its reputation.

Dendera it's a spectacular monument!!! It's so beautiful and Abydos it's also, but it's far away. But don't worry about that because our driver Hossam it was professional and punctual!

Having seen and experienced Luxor, Aswan, Memphis, and Giza, Dendera and Abydos are hands down the ones I would go back to again and again! Of course, nothing compares to the great pyramids but temple-wise, Dendera is truly an amazing site. You'll come out with a neck ache from gazing at the ceilings for so long but well worth it. The guide was amazing with insights at each of these places and the driver was super-friendly. One of the best tours I took in Egypt.

It was a cozy and pleasant day trip to Denderas and Abydos. Both the driver and the guide were very helpful. The car is spacious, clean and cool. Our guide Ahmed took excellent care of everything. Both in stories and in our photos. In Abydos, we were treated to delicious traditional dishes.
