• Dendera Temple Complex - Departure from Safaga Port at 06:00 am, a two-hour journey to the sanctuary of Hathor, the deity of affection and melody.\n\nArrival at Dendera by 09:00 am, where an Egyptologist guide will provide insights into the temple’s history.\n\nDendera temple\n\nThe Hathor Temple was primarily erected in the latter part of the Ptolemaic era, notably under Ptolemy XII and Cleopatra VII. The Roman era saw further enhancements. Despite being constructed by rulers not originally from Egypt, the temple’s architecture aligns with traditional Egyptian temple designs, except for the hypostyle hall’s facade, which an inscription attributes to Emperor Tiberius.\n\nAdditionally, the complex features depictions of Ptolemaic sovereigns. A prominent relief on the temple’s outer wall shows Cleopatra VII and her son with Julius Caesar, Ptolemy XV (Caesarion), in Egyptian attire, performing ritual offerings.\n\nHathor was also celebrated as a healing deity, as reflected by the sanatorium within the complex. Pilgrims visited to seek healing from the goddess. The sanatorium used sacred water, blessed through contact with inscribed statues, for therapeutic baths. Hathor’s priests provided ointments, and accommodations were available for those seeking divine revelations in their dreams.\n\nPost-temple tour, lunch will be served in Qena City before heading to Hurghada.\n\nIncluded in this Tour\n\n- Expert Egyptologist guide\n- Midday meal\n- Admission charges\n- Bottled water\n\nNot Included in this Tour\n\n- Gratuities\n\nWhat to Expect\n\n- Tour length: 200 minutes\n- Priority access\n- Transportation service
