This is a tricky review to write.
The Temple of Abydos is fabulous. The older buildings are from Seti 1st and the quality of the reliefs is excellent and the original colours are amongst the best in Egypt. The Dendara complex is from the Greco/Roman period. Much of it is in ruin, although there are some nice large scale reliefs of Cleopatra.
Our guide, Mandur, was knowledgeable and considerate to our needs and our driver Mohammed, was safe and sure.
This tour was from Marsa Alam tours with a pick-up from Safaga Port. Unlike other tour companies, Marsa Alam have no access to the port and so our vehicle was not in the cluster of other tour vehicles next to the ship. We eventually found the vehicle outside the gates to the port. A walk of more than 1.6Km from our ship. We wasted more than an hour, looking for the vehicle and walking to it’s location.
My recommendation: Seeing the Temple of Abydos should be close to the top of ‘must see’ sites of Egypt. I cannot recommend this tour company for the tour, if your pickup is from Safaga port.
