The Super Luxor and Dendera tour offers a unique opportunity to immerse yourself in the history and culture of Ancient Egypt without the distraction of shopping and at a super price! You will visit two famous archaeological sites in Egypt - Luxor and Dendera. This program is carried out on a new comfortable bus from Hurghada and includes numerous attractions and an exciting program from a professional Egyptologist guide.
This excursion is in much greater demand among tourists than the classic Luxor program and is the most intense, due to the fact that shops are excluded and instead the guide suggests expanding the program at the venue.
The trip begins with a trip to Dendera, near the town of Qena. The place is famous for its temple of the Goddess of love and beauty - Hathor. This temple is one of the most impressive and well preserved in Egypt. Here you can see a unique "maternity room", as well as elegant walls with images of hieroglyphs and gods, on which unique colors from ancient times have still been preserved.
After Dendera, you will head to the city of Luxor, which is considered the largest open-air museum in the world. Here you can see the famous Temple of Karnak. It is a magnificent architectural structure built by the pharaohs during the reign of Ancient Egypt. You will be offered a fascinating account of its history and significance. It has majestic columns and sculptures that delight all visitors.
Next you will go to the Valley of the Dead, where you will visit the Temple of Queen Hatshepsut and see the colossi of Memnon.
Optionally, for an additional fee, you can take a boat to the Banana Grove and visit the Valley of the Kings or Queens (price will be determined on the spot). You can book and pay for this part of the excursion directly from the guide on the bus, by agreement.
Your trip also includes lunch at a local restaurant where you can taste traditional Egyptian dishes. At the end of the day, you will return by bus to Hurghada with rich impressions of all the most famous places in Luxor and new knowledge about the rich history and culture of Ancient Egypt. This excursion offers a unique opportunity to see some of Egypt's most famous landmarks and discover the great works of our ancestors.
