Pick up from your Hotel in Luxor by your personal Egyptologist Tour Guide then by air-conditioned minibus to Dendera Temple which is dedicated to Goddess Hathor- cow-headed woman and known as the Goddess of Love. This temple dates back to 125 B.C and it is unique because the roof is still intact and visitors can admire the beautiful ceiling which depicts the hours of the day and night as well as the journey of the sun, moon and the stars across the sky. One of its ceilings is decorated with a plaster cast of the signs of the zodiac. Not only that but this temple has the only relief which represented Queen Cleopatra and her son Caesarian. Continue to Abydos which was the head of the God Osiris- the God of the Underworld and part of his body was buried there according to the legend of ancient Egyptians, in Abydos, you will visit the famous Temple of King Seti I – the founder of Abydos Temple which was completed by his son King Ramses II. The beauty of this Temple almost feels like an apology and dedication to the following Gods Osiris, Isis, Horus, Amun Ra, Mut, and Khonsu. After this, return to Luxor by your transport.
