Description
A private excursion from Hurghada to the Temple of Hathor in Dendera is a unique opportunity to visit the temple closest to Hurghada (only 230 km away) in just half a day: you will be back at your hotel by 2:30 p.m.
The Temple of Hathor in Dendera is one of the most impressive and mystical temples of Ancient Egypt. It is dedicated to the goddess of love, beauty and harmony, the patroness of music, dance and feminine energy. Thanks to its exceptional preservation, the temple allows you to see ancient Egyptian art in almost its original form.
Particular attention is drawn to the majestic columns with the faces of Hathor, richly decorated ceilings with astronomical scenes and mysterious underground crypts where priests kept sacred objects. It was here that the legendary Dendera Zodiac was located, which became a symbol of the Egyptians’ connection with the stars and the cosmos.
The Temple of Hathor is considered a place of power and joy — people came here for blessings, love, and happiness. An excursion to this temple gives you the opportunity to experience the special atmosphere of an ancient sanctuary, far from the mass tourist routes.
Departure from the hotel is at approximately 4:30 a.m., and the journey takes no more than 2.5 hours. The trip is organised in a comfortable tourist minibus. Entrance tickets and the services of a professional historian guide are included in the price.
What to take with you: passports, breakfast box (order from the hotel the day before the excursion), comfortable clothing and footwear, hats and sunscreen, warm clothing in winter (it will be cool at night in winter)
