Luxor Day Tour visit Dendara and Abydos temples

At 7:00 am Pickup from your Hotel or Nile Cruise in Luxor by EGY Discovery Tour guide then you will be transferred by Private A/C Vehicle to Abydos city Drive north from Luxor for a day to see two of the most complete temples in Egypt. The Temple of Seti I, also known as the Great Temple of Abydos, is a major historical site located in Abydos.

The temple of Seti I is situated in Abydos, one of the most important archaeological sites of Ancient Egypt. Abydos is located in Upper Egypt, about 10 km from the Nile River. It was a necropolis for Egypt’s earliest kings and later became a pilgrimage center for the worship of the god Osiris. It is also where the cults of the deified kings of ancient Egypt were celebrated. The temple of Seti I has an unusual L-shaped ground plan and was built primarily of limestone, with the occasional use of sandstone in different areas throughout the structure. The temple was completed after Seti I’s death, by his son, Ramesses II, whose cartouches are found in certain parts of the temple, along with his characteristic sunk relief style, that is different from the very fine raised relief of his father.

Then continue to Temple of Dendera, Hathor was among the most important and popular deities in ancient Egypt. She was associated with music, joy, dance and motherhood; she was also known as the lady of the sky. Her main cult center was at Dendera where one of the best-preserved temples in Egypt stands today. The entrance of the temple, with six massive columns surmounted with the head of Hathor, is considered among the most beautiful monuments in Egypt. Sistrums (a musical instrument) closely associated with the goddess, frame her head.
At the end of the tour transfer back to the hotel in Luxor .
