Afternoon Adventures: Embrace the Heat

As the day progresses and the sun reaches its zenith, the heat intensifies, creating a shimmering mirage over the desert landscape. Yet, for those who embrace the warmth, the afternoon offers a unique opportunity to delve deeper into Egypt’s rich tapestry of history. With the Lovely Egypt Tour available until 4:00 PM, you can continue your exploration of the Dendera and Abydos Temples, each site offering a glimpse into the spiritual life of ancient Egyptians.

The Dendera Temple, with its well-preserved reliefs and astronomical ceiling, invites you to ponder the mysteries of the cosmos as understood by the ancients. Meanwhile, the Abydos Temple, a sacred site dedicated to Osiris, the god of the afterlife, offers a serene escape from the bustling world outside. Here, the cool stone walls provide a welcome respite from the sun’s relentless glare, allowing you to lose yourself in the echoes of history.

“Excellent service - The driver and guide were very nice. The guide was knowledgeable and shared information about the two temples. I would like to make special mention of the driver who found my hat and some money and medication in the car that had been accidentally left behind. He organised a friend to deliver them to us. This is important because we had moved to Hurghada by that time and the driver went out of his way to find someone going to the new city so they could be dropped off. This is over and above what I would expect. I highly recommend both the guide and the driver but especially recommend the driver.” (Reviewed on 2024-12-21)
