Your adventure starts with a picturesque drive 85 km north of Luxor to Dendera, where the majestic Temple of Hathor stands. Dedicated to the goddess of love, joy, and beauty, this temple is famous for its detailed astronomical ceiling, concealed passageways, and ornate stone roof. One of its highlights is the rare relief featuring Queen Cleopatra VII and her son, Caesarion, a testament to Egypt’s Greco-Roman influence. Often called "Pr. Hathor’s House" or "Systrum Castle," the temple showcases a unique blend of artistic and architectural brilliance.
Next, continue 135 km further to Abydos, home to the legendary Temple of Seti I, one of Egypt’s most well-preserved sacred sites. Dedicated to Osiris, the Lord of the Underworld, this temple was constructed by King Seti I and later completed by Ramses II. Walk through its grand halls adorned with intricate carvings of pharaohs and deities, and see the famous Abydos King List, an important chronological record of Egypt’s rulers.
As you journey through charming villages, take in breathtaking views of lush green fields, tranquil Nile landscapes, and traditional Egyptian rural life, adding a touch of natural beauty to your experience.
