Pick up time from Hurghada hotel at 06:00 am, Drive 3 hours to visit the temple of the Goddes Hathor, The Goddes of love, Music Arrive at Dendera at 09: 00, You will be accompanied by Egyptologist tour guide ,He will explain the history of the temple Dendera temple The Temple of Hathor was largely constructed during the Late Ptolemaic period, specifically during the reign of Ptolemy XII and Cleopatra VII. Later additions were made during the Roman period. Although built by a dynasty of rulers who were not native Egyptians themselves, the design of this temple has been found to be in accordance to that of other classical Egyptian temples, with the exception of the front of the hypostyle hall, which, according to an inscription above the entrance, was constructed by the Emperor Tiberius. Apart from these, there are also scenes in the temple complex portraying the Ptolemaic rulers. For example, carved onto the external face of one of the temple walls is a huge relief of Cleopatra VII and her son by Julius Caesar and co-ruler, Ptolemy XV (better known as Caesarion). The two Ptolemaic rulers are shown dressed in Egyptian garb, and offering sacrifices. Hathor was also regarded as a goddess of healing, and this is evident in the presence of a sanatorium in the temple complex. Here, pilgrims would come to be cured by the goddess. Sacred water (which was made holy by having it poured onto statues inscribed with sacred texts) was used for bathing, unguents were dispensed by the priests of Hathor, and sleeping quarters were provided for those hoping that the goddess would appear in their dreams, and so aid them. After visiting the temple.we will have lunch in Qena City then we depart to Hurghada

Private tour to Dendera temple
It was such a great experience. The tour guide was speaking from heart about all the history and hieroglyphics at the temple complex and gave us a great knowledge about all of it.

Best preserved temple in egypt
Excellent time on our private trip to abydos and dendera temples with marsa alam tours. Our guide Osama was very knowledgeable and kind, making us feel very welcome and also showing us some great features at the sights (we actually did both abydos and dendera temples). After having visited luxor and Cairo several times before abydos and dendera certainly didn't disappoint! Amazing places and definitely worth seeing including the King list. If you enjoy the slightly stranger theories on ancient Egypt this is where the light bulb and helicopter hieroglyphics are. Our drivers Tariq and Ahmed were also very good with a spotlessly clean and modern minibus which was incredibly confortable. Pick up was on time and the whole day was planned brilliantly. We had a traditional Egyptian meal at the end of the day which was also superb. 5 🌟 and thoroughly recommend the whole experience.
Response from the operator: Dear Ljsanderson, Thank you very much for your great review. It helps us to understand the how was the trip and how the trip Quality. many Thanks that you recommend our company and the guide Osama to every one. we are Proud to read your review.and Happy to know you had great Private trip to Dendera and Abyods from Hurghada Best Regards Ahmed

Beautiful experience, good guides, easy and resultful contact with Marsa alam company.
The Temple is definitely worth to visit. It took almost three hours of driving one way from the hotel in Soma bay, but the scenery makes the experience just beautiful, and the time on the road goes by unnoticeable. We left 5:30 in the morning and were back at 14:00. Very good option if you want to see the Temple and still spend some time near the water that day. But at the end I would prefer to have 30-60 minutes more to explore and spend some time at the Tample. But it depends on your preferences and interest in the ancient history. We were at temple around 9am, and left around 11am. The guide was very good. Thank you, Mamdouh for the talk and sharing some parts of the egiptian culture. The contact with Marsalam is easy by what’s up, and nobody is trying to sell something you do not need. We also made the trip on quads with Marsa alam, which was great. Really recommend both experiences and the company.

Dendera Temple Day Tour From Hurghada: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Hurghada.
How much does Dendera Temple Day Tour From Hurghada cost?
+
Prices start at $196 per person. The final price depends on the date, the time slot and the number of travelers, and peak weekends in Hurghada usually price higher than midweek mornings. Live pricing and remaining availability are confirmed on the booking screen before you pay.
How long does Dendera Temple Day Tour From Hurghada take?
+
Plan for about 24 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 Hurghada is not rushed.
Is Dendera Temple Day Tour From Hurghada worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 55 out of 100, which we label "Worth a Look". That score blends traveler sentiment (4.7/5 across 3 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable last minute in Hurghada, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.
Can I cancel or reschedule Dendera Temple Day Tour From Hurghada?
+
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 Dendera Temple Day Tour From Hurghada suitable for kids and families?
+
Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 24-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.
How far in advance should I book Dendera Temple Day Tour From Hurghada?
+
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 Hurghada 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 Hurghada and add a light layer if any part of the 24-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does Dendera Temple Day Tour From Hurghada start and how do I get there?

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 Hurghada?
+
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 Hurghada?
+
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.
