We visted the Temple of Dendera with Fawakeh who was an excellent guide. She was charming, professional, knowledgeable and friendly, and made our visit a pleasure. Sometimes a guide will lecture and not answer questions, but she took the time to explain things in an easy and accessible way. I would hope to have her as a guide an another trip.
I love Dandera is my second time here and both times I did the visit with this same tour company. 10/10 first one guide was in English and this time in Dpanish cause I came with my parents. It is a little farther than the other touristic places but I think is worthy for the colors and good state of the temple. Highly recommended 👍🏼
We visited Dendera Temple from Luxor with our guide Amira. It is quite a ride from Luxor, but the road will remind you that the moment you leave the Nile behind, most of the country is a rocky desert. Dendera temple offers something new compared to the temples in Luxor, since the temple dates from a later period, showing different styles and telling different stories. Our guide Amira gave us a lot of information and was very attentive of us and the kids.
Absolutely fantastic experience. Really clean car, fantastic air-conditioning, and wonderful service over the four hours that we were with him. Would absolutely use again!
We booked a private car tour with Alhassany Tours to the Temple of Dendera. Our guide and archaeologist, Ahmed Shawky, provided us with a professional and very detailed explanation. That's what we liked after 18 years visiting Egypt. Mr. Ahmed Shawky was present as an archaeologist when numerous statues were discovered beneath the Temple of Amenhotep III in the Luxor Temple complex. Thanks to the guide and Alhassany Tours.
We enjoyed our trip a lot to Dendera with our guide Ahmet and our driver Mahmoud, organized by Al Hassany travel. The tour was very informative and the temple very impressive!
I really liked Adel's comments. The car was very comfortable and the driver perfect.
The tour is well worth the visit, much more relaxed than the West Bank - Valley of the Kings. The colours in the temples were excellent, a great example of the blend of ancient and roman times.
We met our guide Esraa Ali on a previous trip and het cheerfulness and passionate story telling made us demanding her agency to have her again on the trip to Dendara temples. We have become friends in this short amount of time. The Dendara temples were the most beautiful temples we have seen in Egypt. There are so many engravings to see and so many colors; we could spend a week here and still feel we hadn't seen it all.
Everything about the tour was really good. The guy at the desk was very helpful and kind with assisting us. We were driven in a nice clean car, the driver was calm and friendly. The tour guide was amazing. Her name was Fawakah and she was very knowledgeable and could answer all our questions, her English was also very good. I would recommend this tour company and the tour guide strongly.
