This was an amazing day trip! I usually travel by local bus or train, as I want a feel of the culture as well as sites However, this trip, I ponies up the money to take a private taxi. It was well worth the money for many reasons! When my taxi was met on the road at one of the many police checkpoints, we were provided free of charge, a mandatory police escort, for my safety. Wow. Next, my driver Mr. Ali: zero, one, two two, four five, three zero & three, two nine. Was awesome, no sales pitches or even attempts! He was mostly quiet unless I wanted to be engaging or we were passing something of significance , & he is an excellent driver on such pot hole filled roads. Smooth sailing and price was best I found around. I used him many times afterwards as well. Dendera is Amazing, enormous columns topped with the head of Hathor, scenes of cleopatra and her children, Hathor columned earth clock, complete zodiac calendar, some vibrantly colored wall & ceiling reliefs, panel containing all of the crowns of Egypt, and scenes of the famous Dendera Light bulb... 1 up high on the wall in the furthest back left corner room and 2 in the crypt, which you can enter. Through a very low door. Seti 1 Abydos and Osirian temple are on the same site. Osiris, outside in the back. Another amazing temple with enormous reliefs and columns still in excellent condition. & this temple contains the famous helicopter/tank/submarine glyphs. It is small and up high so bring a good camera. When you walk in the entrance, walk straight in & turn right between the middle row of enormous columns, then turn completely around facing the pathway you entered on. Look up. At the top of the column to your right, you can see the famous glyph. I could have spent more hours in each!!!!! A must experience day!The tour guide (Ahmed Nofal) arrived on time and waited as we completed breakfast.

The tour guide (Ahmed Nofal) arrived on time and waited as we completed breakfast. He was very informative and knowledgeable of the temples while also answering random questions we had. He explained in detail every line of what we were seeing and clarified if there were any hesitations from the group. I highly suggest booking with him!Ho avuto la fortuna di fare questa escursione privata da Luxor. 1000 documentari non valgono 2 ore sul posto.

Ho avuto la fortuna di fare questa escursione privata da Luxor. 1000 documentari non valgono 2 ore sul posto. La magnificenza dei templi sembra veramente opera di extraterrestri. Tutto davvero tanto! Si rimane a bocca aperta ogni volta che ti giri. Abidos conserva anche i 2 geroglifici studiati tante volte raffiguranti oggetti del XX secolo. Certo dopo aver visto la perfezione su migliaia di metri quadrati di incisioni liquidare quelli come un'errore di incisione sembra davvero poco credibile. Cmq il dubbio e' tanto.
