What are people saying about Dendera (Dandarah)

Linda_H, Dec 2025

Great Guide, Wonderful Temple

The tour guide was excellent; I learned a lot from him! He was extremely knowledgable and very kind.

Pei_W, Oct 2024

The One to Go on!

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.

Tuhin_B, Mar 2024

Very nice trip

Hesham and hamada are very professional. Nice car. Speak very good english and knowledgable. Would definitely recommend.

Well preserved temple an hour’s drive from Luxor

We had an extra day to spare in Luxor so we decided to do this tour. We’re so glad we did! Dendera is a temple dedicated to the goddess Hathor, located about an hour’s drive by car from Luxor. It is among the best preserved temples in Egypt, and because it is further away you don’t get as many tourists. When we arrived at 7am we had the place all to ourselves, great for pictures! Recently, researchers cleaned centuries of dirt and soot from the walls and ceiling to reveal the original colour of the ceilings and walls which still shine inbright colours. You can also climb the roof, there’s a section where the Dendera zodiac once stood (stolen by the French and kept in the Lourve). Don’t miss the carving of Cleopatra and her son Caesarion on the external South wall. The tour guide and driver picked us up and dropped us off from our hotel in Luxor, entire trip was around 5 hours which includes 2hr travel time (two ways). Take the 6am departure from Luxor if you wish to arrive before the rest of the crowds, which tend to start trickling in from 9am onwards.

Long but very worthwhile trip with an excellent guide and driver

Excellent trip to see these two lesser visited sites. Mahmoud was an extremely knowledgeable guide, doing a particularly good job of explaining the meaning of the hieroglyphs at both sites. And Mahmoud the driver did a fine job of cutting down the long journey time - even negotiating with the police to prevent a long detour. Highly recommended.
