This private tour to Dendara and Abydos was an unforgettable journey into ancient Egypt’s spiritual heart. Exploring the Temple of Hathor and the sacred pilgrimage site of the Cult of Osiris was deeply moving. The historical significance and intricate carvings made this trip a dream for any history lover! Highly recommended.
Lisa Martin –
Visiting the Temple of Hathor and Abydos was an amazing experience! This tour is perfect for anyone who wants to explore Egypt beyond the usual attractions. I loved learning about the ancient rituals and the spiritual importance of these places. The guides were knowledgeable and passionate.

This Luxor tour to Dendara and Abydos was a highlight of my trip to Egypt. The beauty of the Temple of Hathor and the history of the Cult of Osiris were simply breathtaking. This journey was not just educational but also inspiring. A must-do for all!

I’m no art critic, but even I could appreciate the detail and beauty in these temples. The colors, the symmetry, the sheer scale — it’s something you have to see in person. Dendera especially is a masterpiece. The guide knew when to give info and when to just let us wander. Abydos felt more serious and ceremonial, but equally stunning. This tour had everything — comfort, knowledge, and unforgettable visuals.
Mary Ellen Wilkins –
This trip was a breath of fresh air. Just us, our guide, and two magical temples tucked away from the crowds. Dendera is probably the most colorful temple I’ve seen, and the ceiling — wow. Abydos was all about power and resurrection, with stories etched into stone in perfect detail. Our driver was punctual, the car was comfy, and everything just flowed smoothly. A quiet, memorable day in ancient Egypt.

From the moment we hit the road from Luxor, I could tell this was no regular tour. It felt more like a spiritual escape. The Temple of Hathor at Dendera had this comforting, peaceful air. Abydos, in contrast, felt almost solemn — like the walls held secrets of the universe. I’m not super religious, but the experience moved me. It’s a side of Egypt that felt personal.
Nancy Belle McCoy –
We joined the tour in March 2025 and lucked out with perfect weather. The sites were calm and quiet — just us, some birds, and two jaw-dropping temples. The colors inside Dendera looked like they were painted yesterday. In Abydos, we learned about the sacred pilgrimage site that once drew kings and commoners. It’s humbling. I appreciated that the trip gave space to reflect and enjoy without rushing us from spot to spot.

Okay, this tour made me feel like Indiana Jones… but with a cold drink and modern wheels. 🤠 Abydos is steeped in tales of Osiris and life after death, and our guide painted the full picture. You could practically hear ancient prayers in the air. Dendera was less dramatic, more dreamy, and the artwork there? Unreal. It’s rare to find places so ancient that still feel intact. This tour felt like time-travel with seat belts.
Sally Ann Rooker –
We were looking for something different from the usual tourist stops and this trip gave us exactly that. No crowds, peaceful sites, and temples that felt like real discoveries. I loved Dendera the most — the Hathor temple has this warmth to it and the columns are gorgeously decorated. Abydos was heavier and more powerful — you can really feel the spiritual weight of the place. It’s the kind of day trip that leaves you talking about it long after.
Billy Joe Carter –
As someone who enjoys long scenic drives and history, this trip was right up my alley. The roads from Luxor were safe and pretty open, and the driver handled it like a pro. At Dendera, I couldn’t stop looking up — the ceilings are still painted in color after thousands of years! And in Abydos, there’s this whole scene of pharaohs and gods that looks like a comic book carved in stone. It’s ancient, it’s cool, and you feel like an explorer from the 1800s.
Loretta Mae Jenkins –
I had never heard of Abydos before this trip, but now it’s my favorite place in Egypt. The temple there is wild — it tells the story of Osiris and his cult following like some ancient Netflix show. So dramatic! 😄 Dendera was equally beautiful and had a feminine charm, with the Temple of Hathor dedicated to love and music. I felt like I was walking through a goddess’s home. The whole trip was smooth and perfectly timed, and the AC in the vehicle was life-saving.
Clyde Thompson –
We loved every second of this journey — especially Dendera’s stunning Zodiac ceiling 🛕✨. Our guide gave just the right amount of storytelling, not too textbook but really engaging. The car ride was surprisingly comfortable with WiFi and snacks on board (yes, seriously). It felt like stepping into another time without leaving behind modern comforts. Abydos had some of the most detailed carvings I’ve seen anywhere in Egypt. This is the trip for history fans who also like to travel in style.
Emma Rayford –
We booked this private trip from Luxor on a whim, not expecting much beyond the usual temples. But wow — Dendera’s Temple of Hathor literally blew us away with its intricate ceilings and vibrant colors still clinging to the walls. And Abydos? That place holds a different kind of energy — almost sacred. The ride was smooth and air-conditioned (a must in Egypt’s sun). We even got some local stories from our guide that made the experience feel personal and magical. You won’t see crowds here like in Luxor or Giza, which made the trip feel exclusive and serene.
