Itinerary
- Temple of Seti I: We will pick you up from your hotel in Luxor to discover these ancient temple sites. First, we will visit Abydos, the site the ancient Egyptians believed where the god of the underworld was buried. The temple was built by King Seti I, and completed by King Ramsess II, known as the temple of Seti I. It is located in Abydos City, which is about 420 km to the south of Cairo in the Sohag Government, and 135 km from Luxor .
- Abydos: The paintings of the gods and pharaohs on the walls of the Osiris Temple at Abydos are said to be among the most beautifully preserved in Egypt. Get your selfie sticks ready!
- We will then continue to Dendera, a vast 40,000 sq meter complex, home to the Temple of Hathor, the goddess of love and joy, as well as many other architectural glories. Be on the lookout for depictions of Cleopatra, as well as the Dendera Light (there are many controversial, yet interesting theories, surrounding this wall depiction). What will you come to believe? The treasure is yours to discover!
