On this day trip, we'll leave Luxor behind, making our way to Abydos and Dendera, two cities on the banks of the Nile where fascinating temples can be found.

Day Trip Details

Having picked you up at your hotel or boat, we'll leave Luxor behind, making our way to Abydos, a city found 260 km northeast of the city.

In Abydos, we'll see its famous temple, constructed by Set I in honour of Osiris. In this temple, you can't only find important scenes from the life of Set I and Ramses II, but also the famous Royal Lists, with the names of the 77 kings of Egypt from Menes to Set I himself.

Abydos was the most important religious centre and site of pilgrimage in Egypt. Here can be found representations of the "Mysteries of Osiris" a ceremony which reproduced the death and resurrection of the God Osiris.

We'll then have a picnic lunch, after which we'll make our way to Dendera.

The Dendera Temple is dedicated to the goddess Hathor and its construction, beginning in the reign of Nectanebo I, continued into the Roman period. The temple has two decorated crypts, two halls with ceilings supported by columns and two funeral chapels, from where the famous "zodiac" from the Louvre comes.

Having made one last stop at the Temple of Isis, we'll leave Dendera behind to head back to Luxor, leaving you back at your lodgings between 5 and 6 pm.

Hotel Pickup

This activity only includes pickup and drop-off at the hotels and boats in Luxor situated on the eastern banks (right side) of the River Nile. On the way back, we'll drop you off at the same place you were picked up at.

If your hotel or boat in Luxor is situated on the western banks (left side) of the River Nile, a meeting point will be confirmed with you on the Eastern side.
