I had a wonderful trip to Dendera Temple and would highly recommend this tour. Both the driver and our guide, Asma, were very friendly, professional, and welcoming throughout the day. The guided tour was excellent. Asma shared a wealth of interesting information about the history, architecture, and significance of the temple. The explanations were clear, engaging, and full of fascinating insights that helped me better understand and appreciate this remarkable site. I learned a lot and gained a deeper appreciation of ancient Egyptian history thanks to her knowledge and passion. The driver ensured a comfortable and safe journey, and the entire experience was well organised from start to finish. On the way back, we also enjoyed a very good lunch, which was a nice addition to an already excellent day. Thanks to Asma and the driver, the visit was both enjoyable and memorable. I highly recommend this tour to anyone visiting Dendera Temple and looking for a friendly, informative, and well-organised experience. 5/5 – Excellent service, knowledgeable guide, comfortable transportation, and a great lunch!
Really great tour. Marwa Fatafeat Elsoker was kind and knowledgeable. Driver was early to pickup and everything was timely.
Marwa fatafeat elsoket was my tour guide for Dendara and she did an excellent job explaining the temple to me and all its fascinating inscriptions and stories with some free time allowed for me to take extra pictures. A very nice half day getaway from Luxor and Dendara is absolutely beautiful.
Dandera Temple for someone interested in ancient Egypt is a must. But doing it solo is not a good idea. Our guide Ablaa described everything for us perfectly. She answered all our questions (and we asked a lot), she has amazing knowledge, and was really friendly! She described all of the gods, told us their history, and tought us how to distiguish them. We had different guides across multiple trips, but she is our number 1.
Great experience visiting Dendera - everything was smooth and well organised. Our guide Momo was a fantastic: knowledgeable, friendly, and very helpful throughout. He made the history easy to follow and the whole experience really enjoyable. I'd definitely recommend this tour to anyone visiting Luxor! Thanks also to our very friendly and nice driver Mahmoud.
Very pleasant experience. Hyaam the tour guide was very knowledgable and friendly and made my visit to the temple very enjoyable. Can definitely recommend. The driver Mohammed was a good driver, very friendly and has good taste in music (ahmad sheba).
An excellent day with an exciting guide Bishoy Edwar, who took the time to detail each plot of the temple in Dendara. A sublime and peaceful site that is definitely worth visiting. Thank you for this great time with a very friendly and professional guide
An excellent visit with Bishoy Edwar, who took the time to explain the details and history of the sublime temple of Dendara. You can feel the passion of this guide for the history of Egypt and the beauty of the temples. Thank you for this great time!
This tour was hands down the best tour I have ever been on. The fantastic Egyptologist PHD guide Abu, had a brilliant knowledge of the Dendara temple and was able to guide me effortlessly through this mesmerising time capsule of history. It is a beautiful Temple, and I feel so lucky to have had this opportunity to visit. Thank you.
Omar's explanation was professional and entertaining. The temple of Hathor was so beautiful and the panorama was wonderful. Thank you!
