Dendera and Abydos Day Tour from Marsa Alam

Dendera - Guests will be collected from their hotel in Marsa Alam and accompanied by an Egyptologist tour guide. The guide will provide insights into the history of the Dendera Temple. The Temple of Hathor was primarily built during the late Ptolemaic period, particularly under the reign of Ptolemy XII and Cleopatra VII, with further additions during the Roman era. Although constructed by a dynasty of rulers who were not native Egyptians, the temple’s design aligns with other classical Egyptian temples, except for the front of the hypostyle hall, which, as per an inscription above the entrance, was built by Emperor Tiberius. Additionally, the temple complex features scenes depicting Ptolemaic rulers, such as a large relief of Cleopatra VII and her son by Julius Caesar, co-ruler Ptolemy XV (also known as Caesarion), carved onto the external face of one of the temple walls.

Abydos - Abydos is regarded as one of the most significant archaeological sites of Ancient Egypt. This sacred city was home to numerous ancient temples, including Umm el-Qa’ab, a royal necropolis where early pharaohs were laid to rest. These tombs gained immense significance over time, making it desirable to be buried in the area, thus enhancing the town’s importance as a cult site. Today, Abydos is renowned for the memorial temple of Seti I, which contains an inscription from the nineteenth dynasty known as the Abydos King List. This chronological list displays cartouches of most dynastic pharaohs of Egypt from Menes to Ramesses I, Seti’s father. The Great Temple and much of the ancient town are buried beneath modern buildings north of the Seti Temple. Many original structures and artifacts are considered lost; then proceed to Luxor to check in at the hotel.
