The driver, Hatem, had a kind smile and was a good person who cared about everything. He played my favorite music in the car. They gave us plenty of time to go around the temple of Dendera (so we could contact them 10 minutes before we left) so we could enjoy it at our own pace. The price is lower than the others and it was very good. The temple of Dendera is really beautiful and fun to explore so I recommend it! I think it would be more enjoyable to buy additional tickets to Crypto.
It gaves us all the honour and pleasure to serve you
I chose the option of just having a driver to the site. This was perfect for me as I could take my time and view the temple at my own pace. Service was impeccable and the driver was courteous and accommodating.
This is an incredible temple that is 100% worth adding on to your Luxor itinerary. The temple is massive, and every inch is covered in carvings and paintings of Egyptian mythology and astrological symbols. My Egyptologist tour guide, Ahmed Haggag, did a fantastic job of explaining it all to me. And he made sure to get us there early, so we could explore in solitude. If you are OK with tight spaces and want an “Indiana Jones” experience, make sure to add on the crypt ticket, so you can crawl through the secret corridors above, below, and around the main passageways. The secrets of the world are written on the walls and ceilings of Dendera.
