Excursión a los templos de Abydos y Dendera

On this day trip, we'll leave Luxor to visit Abydos and Dendera, two cities along the Nile that feature significant temples.

Day Trip Details

After picking you up at your hotel or boat, we will travel to Abydos, located 260 km northeast of Luxor.

In Abydos, we will explore its renowned temple built by Set I in honor of Osiris. This temple showcases important scenes from the lives of Set I and Ramses II, along with the notable Royal Lists, which document the names of the 77 kings of Egypt from Menes to Set I.

Abydos served as a crucial religious center and pilgrimage site in Egypt, featuring representations of the "Mysteries of Osiris," a ceremony symbolizing the death and resurrection of the deity.

We will then enjoy a picnic lunch before proceeding to Dendera.

The Dendera Temple, dedicated to the goddess Hathor, began construction during the reign of Nectanebo I and continued into the Roman period. It comprises two decorated crypts, two halls with column-supported ceilings, and two funeral chapels, which house the famous "zodiac" found in the Louvre.

After a final visit to the Temple of Isis, we will return to Luxor, arriving at your accommodations between 5 and 6 pm.
