Dendera Temple Complex
Early in the Morning our Tour Guide will pick you up from your hotel or residence at Luxor. In our Comfortable Minivan We drive towards Dendera.
Dendera is located about 60 km North of Luxor on the west bank of the Nile, opposite the provincial modern town of Qena. Called Lunet or Tantere and considered as the capital of the 6th nome in Upper Egypt by Ancient Egyptians, it was also known as Tentyris to the Greeks.
Explore one of the finest and beautiful temples among the Egyptian temples. Hathor was the goddess of pleasure, love, music, dance and was generally shown as a cow, or woman with a cow's head. It remains one of the best-preserved temples in all of Egypt and contains a rare depiction of Cleopatra VII and Caesarian, the son of Julius Caesar
Before you reach the temple, there are two structures in the precinct of the temple, the Mamisi or “the birth house” and the Roman Basilica. The temple of Hathor was built in the time of the Greeks. It is in very good condition with amazing astronomical scenes on the ceiling.
There are 24 Hathoric columns bear the roof of the 1st hypostyle hall with very beautiful scenes on its ceiling, such as the representation of the goddess Nut. One of the very well known things of this temple is the representation of the Egyptian zodiacs on the top of the temple. You will admire the good carvings in the crypt at the rear part of the temple behind the sanctuary. Queen Cleopatra VII appears on the back exterior wall making an offering to the goddess.
