>> Tour Description

Dendera Temple complex (Ancient Egyptian: Iunet or Tantere; the 19th-century English spelling in most sources, including Belzoni, was Tentyra) is located about 2.5 kilometers (1.6 mi) south-east of Dendera, Egypt. It is one of the best-preserved temple complexes in Egypt. The area was used as the sixth Nome of Upper Egypt, south of Abydos. The whole complex covers some 40,000 square meters and is surrounded by a hefty mud brick enclosed wall. Dendera was inhabited in prehistory, a useful oasis on the banks of the Nile. It seems that pharaoh Pepi I (ca. 2250 BC) was built on this site and evidence exists of a temple in the Eighteenth Dynasty (ca 1500 BC). The earliest extant building in the compound today is the Mammisi raised by Nectanebo II – last of the native pharaohs (360–343 BC), who then proceed to visit Abydos distance between Dendera and Abydos is almost 2 hours driving. Abydos is the cult center of Osiris, god of the dead. A necropolis is a place of pilgrimage and burial and at least ten temples were originally constructed here Among those ten temples, three remain that are of special note. These include the Temple of Seti I, the Great Osiris Temple, and the Ramses II Temple. Among these three, the Temple of Seti I is the most well-preserved, then drive back to your hotel or cruise in Luxor.
