Modern Irish Take on Almost Ancient Egypt - 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.

Epic trip to Dendara temples - 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.

Tour to Hathor Temple - 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.

Fantastic experience! - This is a fantastic tour. The temple is extraordinary- it is a must see. Our guide, Ahmed, was excellent. He explained the history of the temple, the important markings, and the ancient religions. He took us all around the outside and inside of the temple, and was able to get us in to closed off chambers. Musa, the driver, made the ride very smooth and enjoyable. We highly recommend this tour.

Amazing trip to denderra - The trip was fantastic, Abdallah took us through the whole story of Egyptian mythology along with the history, pointing out and explaining all the depictions and symbols. I really enjoyed seeing the depictions of the “lightbulbs” and is something I always wanted to see. Great experience.

Highly recommended - I would give it a 4.7 It is very nice, more colorful than others, but it is further away from the city and is smaller, so it has the advantage that there are few people, but you delay more in the journey than in the visit. However, the photos are very beautiful. You can access the roof, and the story all based on the story of how Horus was born and the story of the goddess Hathor are quite interesting if you explain them to a good guide like mine! Also the zodiac! Thank you Abdallah Eldandrawy!!! Super recommended

Great place - Service was very easy to schedule, compliments, van is comfortable. The guide has knowledge but more accompaniment would be needed inside the temple. The driver was driving well and at good speed but was falling asleep. The spectacular place.
