Overview
Step back in time on a full-day journey to two of Egypt’s most fascinating and less-crowded temples: Abydos and Dandara. This tour takes you deep into Upper Egypt, where history, art, and spirituality come alive.
Your journey begins with Abydos, the sacred burial place of Osiris, god of the afterlife. The Temple of Seti I here is a true masterpiece—its vibrant colors, detailed reliefs, and the famed Abydos King List make it one of the most important archaeological treasures in Egypt.
Next, we head to Dandara to visit the Temple of Hathor, goddess of music, love, and joy. This beautifully preserved site features astronomical ceilings, hidden staircases, and sacred sanctuaries. The zodiac ceiling and crypt are especially remarkable and offer a glimpse into ancient Egyptian cosmology.
Throughout the tour, your expert guide will bring the stories carved into stone to life, explaining the beliefs, myths, and kings behind the temples.
This day tour offers a rare chance to explore temples that many travelers miss, without the crowds, but with all the wonder.
