Description

On this tour from Luxor, a guide will take you to two remarkable ancient sites in Egypt. First, the journey leads to Abydos, where the impressive Temple of Osiris stands, adorned with vivid, well‑preserved paintings that tell tales of the pharaohs, gods, and goddesses. Next, the route continues to Dandara, home to the Temple of Hathor, the goddess of love and joy, known for its grand hall and intricate details. This tour offers a chance to appreciate the artistry and spiritual significance of these ancient monuments.

Your Egypt Day Tours guide will pick you up from your Luxor hotel to enjoy a tour to these ancient sites. Start by visiting Abydos, located in Sohag Governorate about 135 km from Luxor. The colorful paintings of pharaohs, gods, and goddesses on the walls of the Osiris Temple at Abydos are among the best‑preserved pharaonic paintings in Egypt. Then you will be driven to Dandara to visit the Temple of Hathor, goddess of love and joy. At the end, you will be taken back to your hotel.
