Trip to Dendera temple - Dendera temple is amazing, the hall of the columns is incredibly well preserved, the scenes on the ceiling are just astounding. We went early in the morning so the crowds were very limited and we were able to avoid most of the heat during the day. Our guide Ahmed shawky was very informative, he explained to us all of the context behind every piece we saw and was able to answer all of our very incessant questions :)

Trip to Dendera Temple - We both found this temple so beautiful and unique - the stories from the Egyptian gods was very fascinating and explained well by Abdallah, our guide. The temple colours and carved images so wonderful- it is definitely a temple to visit. Thank you to our guide for a superb experience!

Exceptional guide! Amazing temple! - Denera temple as truly amazing.This was our third trip with the wonderful Abdalla Fouad. Abdallas tours are exceptional. He is patient and painstaking in his tours, so many fine details and an amazing wealth of stories that you would miss if he were not there. His obvious passion for Egyptian history is infectious and has inspired us to read more. His knowledge seems never ending and is also very good company.We look forward to returning sometime to continue our association and education with him. All in all we have had the most wonderful time.Also Hassany travel thank you organising these great trips.

Trip to Dendera - Our trip to Dendera was amazing. The driver, Musa, was excellent, he was on time at the hotel and brought us safe to Dendera. We could stay there as long as we wanted to ( over 2 hours) and then returned to our hotel. We can highly recommend this company and above all the driver Musa.

Dendera temple visit - Our guide Mohamed was excellent! The temple is quite interesting and unlike other temples. Lots of colour and there’s this hidden chamber you crawl down to reach. Very very cool. Everything was well facilitated. Modather and abo Youssef in the shops were very hospitable and have lots of quality merchandise. Lovely experience.

Great trip to Dendera temple - Ahmed that was my guide is an experienced Egyptologist. He explained me key historical events, the Egyptian gods and assisted me to visit every single room, crypt and the terrace of Dendera temple. I strongly recommend to visit this temple which is unique. Older that mainstream Egyptology claims. Several hidden clues for the truth seeker are there.

Stunning! - Another stunning tour Dendera is amazing stunning columns and amazing designs on the ceiling with the zodiac signs also. You can climb inside two cript's if you are brave enough! Very steep ladders to climb and very small holes to climb through but absolutely stunning inside and an amazing experience! I thoroughly enjoyed my trip thanks to my wonderful tour guide Mohamad Albasha and a nice smooth drive with Moses. Thank you!
