WHAT'S INCLUDED

WHAT TO EXPECT

1. Dendera Temple Complex
Pick up time from your hotel in Cruise in Safaga by Marsa Alam tours tour guide, Then Drive to Dendera temple Arrive at Dendera at 08: 30, You will be accompanied by Egyptologist tour guide, He will explain the history of the temple . Dendera temple The Temple of Hathor was largely constructed during the Late Ptolemaic period, specifically during the reign of Ptolemy XII and Cleopatra VII. Later additions were made during the Roman period. Although built by a dynasty of rulers who were not native Egyptians themselves, the design of this temple has been found to be in accordance to that of other classical Egyptian temples, with the exception of the front of the hypostyle hall, which, according to an inscription above the entrance, was constructed by the Emperor Tiberius. Hathor was also regarded as a goddess of healing, and this is evident in the presence of a sanatorium in the temple complex. Here, pilgrims would come to be cured by the goddess.
2. Abydos
Drive to Abydos temple from Dendera temple Considered one of the most important archaeological sites of Ancient Egypt, the sacred city of Abydos was the site of many ancient temples, including Umm el-Qa'ab, a royal necropolis where early pharaohs were entombed. These tombs began to be seen as extremely significant burials and in later times it became desirable to be buried in the area, leading to the growth of the town's importance as a cult site. Today, Abydos is notable for the memorial temple of Seti I, which contains an inscription from the nineteenth dynasty known to the modern world as the Abydos King List. It is a chronological list showing cartouches of most dynastic pharaohs of Egypt from Menes until Ramesses 1The Great Temple and most of the ancient town are buried under the modern buildings to the north of the Seti temple. Many of the original structures and the artifacts within them are considered irretrievable and lost; many may have been destroyed by the new construction

We had booked for Edu and Kom Ombo but the tours called us to tell us that there were problems on the road and offered us an alternative to Dendera and Abyos and we accepted. She came to take the taxi for us. We left from Marsa Alam and we traveled for almost 5 hours, in Dendera we took the Oshama guide, both the driver and the guide were very good. We first went to Abydos, a temple and a characteristic town. There isn't even an asphalt road but it's beautiful and then we went to the Dendera temple. very beautiful and well maintained. a bit of a trek but good and Marsa Alam tours super correct everything perfect

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.
