Amazing
Egypt Gift Tours provided our family an amazing day at both Dendera and Karnak Temples. We had one day to fill and we asked our tour guide, Hatem, what we needed to see and Dendera did not disappoint. Hatem is extremely knowledgeable and he and our driver, Islam, took great care of us. On the way back to Luxor we talked him into taking us to Karnak Temple and it was well worth the trip. Hatem is a wealth of knowledge and it is obvious he loves his job. I highly recommend Egypt Gift Tours.
Response from the operator: Dear Our Valuable Customer, Thank you so much for your nice words and for taking the time to write us a review.

Definitely one of my top 5 Temple Tours in Egypt.
This had to be one of the best tours/sites I visited on a three week trip to Egypt. The guide I provided with was very knowledgeable about the site. I really enjoyed the fact that he was able to tell you about the history of the temple in detail and in length. On other tours I had been on, the guides simply pointed to Gods & kings & queens that adorned temple walls rather than give detailed information about the site (like this tour and tour guide did). Also, this one the only temple I visited that gave you access to its crypt and roof. If you have an extra day in Luxor (approximately 1.5 hours away), I would highly recommend this tour and visiting this temple.

Great tour, great guide.
Tour was great! Our guide, Ahmed was very informative! We had three other tours while in egypt and he gave us great basic information that no one else did. Would highly recommend! The site was amazing. Completely empty so we were able to get great photos. It's a shame that not many people come to this site.

Day Tour to Hathor Temple at Dendera from Luxor by car: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Luxor.
How much does Day Tour to Hathor Temple at Dendera from Luxor by car cost?
+
Prices start at $55 per person. The final price depends on the date, the time slot and the number of travelers, and peak weekends in Luxor usually price higher than midweek mornings. Live pricing and remaining availability are confirmed on the booking screen before you pay.
How long does Day Tour to Hathor Temple at Dendera from Luxor by car take?
+
Plan for about 6 hours from start to finish, not counting travel to the meeting point. Most travelers leave another 30 minutes on either side so the rest of the day in Luxor is not rushed.
Is Day Tour to Hathor Temple at Dendera from Luxor by car worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 62 out of 100, which we label "Solid Choice". That score blends traveler sentiment (5/5 across 4 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable last minute in Luxor, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.
Can I cancel or reschedule Day Tour to Hathor Temple at Dendera from Luxor by car?
+
Yes. Cancel free up to 24 hours before the start time for a full refund. Inside that window the booking is non-refundable, and no-shows are not refunded.
Is Day Tour to Hathor Temple at Dendera from Luxor by car suitable for kids and families?
+
Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 6-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.
How far in advance should I book Day Tour to Hathor Temple at Dendera from Luxor by car?
+
Around 1 people booked this in the last 30 days, so popular slots go early. Two to three weeks ahead is comfortable in shoulder season, while summer weekends and holidays in Luxor can sell out a month out. Same-day spots do open up when other travelers cancel, so it is worth checking if you are already in town.
What should I bring or wear?
+
Bring photo ID, your booking confirmation on your phone, a refillable water bottle and comfortable shoes. Dress for the weather in Luxor and add a light layer if any part of the 6-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does Day Tour to Hathor Temple at Dendera from Luxor by car start and how do I get there?
+
The exact meeting point and directions are on your voucher once you book, and they sit in central Luxor within reach of public transport. Arrive 15 minutes early: late arrivals are treated as no-shows by most operators.
What are the best things to do in Luxor?
+
On Outty we rank every Luxor experience on the same 0 to 100 scale, and alongside this one the highest scorers right now include Private Half Day Luxor Tour Valley of Kings & Queens, Hatshepsut, Full Day Tour to East and West Banks of Luxor (Private), Private Half day Tour to West bank. The city page groups everything into most popular, highest reviewed, last minute and family-friendly so you can build a day around what actually delivers.
When is the best time to visit Luxor?
+
Booking patterns follow the same curve: prices and queues climb in peak weeks, while shoulder season gives you better availability on the top-ranked experiences and more room to change plans.
How many days do you need in Luxor?
+
Three full days covers the headline sights without sprinting. A workable rhythm is one anchor experience each morning, such as this one, an unhurried afternoon in a single neighborhood, then a food or nightlife booking in the evening. Five days lets you add a day trip outside the city.
Do I book through Outty or through the operator?
+
Outty ranks and explains the experiences, then hands you to Viator to complete the booking with the operator directly. The price is the same as booking on Viator yourself, and Outty earns an affiliate commission on the referral, which is how the rankings stay free to read.
