Best Day Trip from Luxor - I really loved this day trip to Dendera and Abydos. The two temples are quite different—Abydos was a sacred pilgrimage site from the Osiris myth dating from the New Egyptian kingdom and Dendera is dedicated to Hathor from Ptolemaic times. It is a long drive but more tourists should take a day and visit. The temples are much more complete and intact than those in Luxor, giving you a better sense of Ancient Egyptian society and religion.
I also highly recommend working with Al Hassany; professional and responsive, easily the best travel agency I used in Egypt. It was so easy to change the date of my booking.
Ghada was also a great tour guide if you’re lucky enough to get her! She is full of energy and conveys her deep passion and enthusiasm for the history and art.
