Absolutely! The Dendera and Abydos tour is ideal for both first-time travelers and repeat visitors. While famous sites like the Valley of the Kings and Luxor Temple are part of the program, Abydos and Dendera temples give you a chance to discover treasures that many travelers miss.

We highly recommend booking your trip in advance. This ensures your hotel in Luxor, your tour guide, and all entrance fees are secured. Booking early also gives us time to customize your itinerary if you’d like to combine it with other adventures, such as a Wadi el Hitan tour, which explores Egypt’s fossil filled desert landscapes.

Light, breathable clothing is best, especially during warmer months. A hat, sunglasses, and sunscreen are highly recommended. Comfortable walking shoes are essential since you’ll spend time exploring temple courtyards and ancient passageways. Modest dress is appreciated at cultural and spiritual sites.
